Charles C. Malone (June 18, 1910 – May 23, 1992) was an American football end in the National Football League (NFL).

Charley (alternately spelled Charlie in some sources) played football for four years at Texas A&M, 1929–1932, and served in the U.S. Marine Corps. He played professional football for the Boston/Washington Redskins for 8 years (1934–42) as well as the pre-NFL, St. Louis Gunners.

In an era in which each NFL team's roster was capped at 33 players, Malone played offensive and defensive end for the Redskins. As a wide receiver, Malone caught most of his passes from fellow Texan Sammy Baugh. Malone led the NFL in receiving in 1935 and finished 5 NFL seasons among the top 10 in receptions. He was selected to play in the NFL Pro Bowl in 1942.

His teams twice won the NFL championship (1937 and 1942).{{Cite web|url=https://www.profootballarchives.com/playerm/malo00600.html|title=Charley Malone Stats - Pro Football Archives}}
