Charles Harcourt Masters (1759 – ?) was an English surveyor and architect in Bath.
He made a set of maps of Bath turnpike roads in 1786. In 1789, he made a scale model of Bath which he displayed at his home, 21 Old Orchard Street, and later in London: the plans were published in 1794. As a surveyor he worked on the development of the Widcombe and Lyncombe districts of Bath, and also laid out formal gardens and grounds. In his later career he practised as an architect under the name of Harcourt, going into partnership with George Phillips Manners: he then lived at 39 Rivers Street.
