Charles Malo François Lameth (October 5, 1757 - December 28, 1832), was a French politician and soldier.

Like his brother Alexandre Lameth (but unlike his other one, Théodore de Lameth), after the Bourbon Restoration, Charles joined the Bourbon camp, succeeding Alexandre as deputy in 1829. In the final years of his life, he was nonetheless a noted supporter of the July Monarchy.
