Charles William Henry Howard (7 November 1904 – 1982) was an English cricketer.

Born in Beckenham, Kent and educated at Tonbridge School. He represented Tonbridge (1921–1923), Kent 2nd XI (1924–1925) and Middlesex in nine first-class matches as a professional right-handed batsman with modest success in 1931.

Howard disappeared from the cricket scene after 1931. Following claims by the Association of Cricket Historians that, in the absence of information to the contrary, they would assume that he was the longst-lived first class cricketer, surpassing the record set by Jim Hutchinson in November 2000, research revealed that Howard had died in 1982 at the age of 77.^[1]
