John Charters Boyle (5 August 1869 - 10 May 1950) was a unionist politician and surveyor in Northern Ireland.

Boyle studied at Cheltenham College and the Royal Indian Engineering College, before working as a surveyor. During the First World War, he served in the 150th Field Company of the Royal Engineers, and was mentioned in despatches. He remained in the military, and was reportedly still in the military in 1922. In 1926, he was appointed as High Sheriff of Armagh. In 1937, he was elected to the Senate of Northern Ireland as an Ulster Unionist Party representative, despite having no previous political experience. He served until his death in 1950.
