Charles Boyle, né le 28 juillet 1674 à Chelsea (Londres, Angleterre), et décédé le 28 août 1731 à Londres, 4e comte d'Orrery, fut un général d'armée, noble et écrivain britannique.
Il était le petit-neveu du scientifique Robert Boyle.
Il se distingua dans les armes et dans les lettres, et donna une savante édition des Lettres de Phalaris, Oxford, 1718.
C'est de son nom qu'on a nommé Orrery une machine astronomique représentant le système planétaire, qui lui avait été dédiée par l'inventeur, l'horloger George Graham. Charles Boyle est devenu membre de la Royal Society le 3 avril 1706.
