Charles Newell Fowler Sr. (November 2, 1852, Lena, Illinois – May 27, 1932, Orange, New Jersey) was an American lawyer and Republican Party politician who represented New Jersey in the United States House of Representatives from 1895 to 1911.
Fowler's district centered on his native Union County, New Jersey. From 1895 to 1903, his district also included Bayonne and most of Essex County. From 1903 to 1911, the district was redrawn to instead include Morris and Warren counties.
He retired from the House in 1910 to seek election to the U.S. Senate but narrowly lost the Republican nomination to Governor Edward C. Stokes in the state's first direct primary election. He lost a second match with Stokes by a much wider margin in the 1913 gubernatorial primary.
