Charles Edge (13 October 1800 – 21 July 1867) was a British architect based in Birmingham.

Edge was born on 13 October 1800. He studied architecture in London for 5 years, and set himself up in practice in Bennetts Hill, Birmingham in 1826.[1] He became one of the leading architects in Birmingham.[2] After the failure of the contractors building Birmingham Town Hall, Edge was employed to complete the building. For many years he worked in partnership with Avery.[clarification needed] His son, Charles Allerton Edge became an architect working with his father. Edge also employed Yeoville Thomason.

He died on 21 July 1867 at Edgbaston.[3]
