Sir Charles Rich, 3rd Baronet (1680 – 17 October 1706) was an officer in the Royal Navy during the War of the Spanish Succession.

[2] His commission was confirmed by the Admiralty on 24 March 1697 and on 14 April 1697 he joined the 100-gun HMS Queen as her fifth lieutenant.

[2] As his father's heir, Charles succeeded to the family baronetcy as third baronet, of London, but continued his naval career.

He captained her for the following year, during which time he relinquished his position as Vice-Admiral of Suffolk to Lionel Tollemache, 3rd Earl of Dysart on 8 July 1702, and saw action against the French and Spanish at the Battle of Vigo Bay on 12 October 1702 as part of an allied Anglo-Dutch fleet under Admirals George Rooke and Philips van Almonde.

[1] As he died without issue, the baronetcy descended to his younger brother Robert, a distinguished army officer.
