Charles Sheffield (25 czerwca 1935 - 2 listopada 2002), angielski matematyk, fizyk i autor science fiction . Prezes Stowarzyszenia Pisarzy Science Fiction i Amerykańskiego Towarzystwa Astronautycznego.

Jego powieść Web Between the Worlds, o budowie windy orbitalnej, powstała równolegle do powieści Clarke'a Fontanny Raju. Rzecz niezamierzona, co obaj pisarze potraktowali dość humorystycznie.

Sheffield pracował jako główny naukowiec Earth Satellite Corporation, spółki przetwarzającej dane z satelitów.

Zdobył nagrody Nebula i Hugo za opowiadanie "Georgia On My Mind" i w 1992 John W. Campbell Memorial Award za najlepszą powieść science fiction za powieść Brother to Dragons.

Prowadził stałą rubrykę popularnonaukową w internecie. W ostatnim wpisie poinformował o wykryciu u niego raka mózgu.
