Charlie Griffin (born June 25, 1979) is an English professional footballer.

Griffin began his league career with Swindon Town in [[February 1999], having signed from Non-League Chippenham Town but after making only eight starting appearances for the Robins he eventually stepped down to the Conference with Woking having enjoyed a fruitful loan spell there whilst still at the County Ground.

Since then an impressive scoring record has seen his name touted around various league clubs but it wasn't until his 20 league and cup strikes for Forest Green Rovers during the 2004/05 season that a serious move was made for the talisman.

With Darlington and Mansfield Town both in the hunt for his signature, Griffin opted for Adams Park to provide yet another attacking option for the manager alongside fellow newcomer Tommy Mooney, Nathan Tyson and Ian Stonebridge.

Griffin was given another shot at League football with Wycombe Wanderers when he became John Gorman's first summer signing for the 2005/2006 season.

In early July 2006, Griffin turned down Woking to rejoin Forest Green Rovers on a season-long loan with an option for recall to Wycombe in the January transfer window. This didn't materialise and he signed for Newport County on February 14, 2007.
