Charles E. Mason (June 25, 1853 – October 21, 1936) was an American professional baseball player who played from 1875–1883, primarily as an outfielder.
Mason was considered a pioneer of baseball in Philadelphia. When Mason fell in 1879, a benefit game was played between the city's top professionals at Recreation Park and the gate receipts donated to Mason. The Philadelphia Phillies and Philadelphia Athletics played an exhibition benefit game to honor Mason on April 10, 1928 at Shibe Park.
