Charles George Mullen (March 15, 1889 – June 6, 1963) was an American baseball player and manager. He played professionally in Major League Baseball (MLB) as a first baseman. From 1910 to 1911, Mullen played for the Chicago White Sox, who kept him at first base almost exclusively throughout his two seasons with the team. After a three-year absence, Mullen came back to the major leagues for play for the New York Yankees from 1914 to 1916. He had 183 hits in 741 at bats and 87 RBIs.

Mullen attended the University of Washington, where he captained the baseball team. In 1918, he was commissioned as a lieutenant in the United States Army, and was stationed at Fort Lewis near Tacoma, Washington.{{cite news |author= |title=Baseball Star At Camp Lewis |url=https://www.newspapers.com/article/spokane-chronicle/163483335/ |newspaper=Spokane Daily Chronicle |location=Spokane, Washington |date=November 18, 1918 |page=11 |access-date=January 20, 2025 |via=Newspapers.com {{Open access}} }}
