Charles Thomas "Charlie" Chapman (11 January 1905 – 17 April 1978)[1] was an Australian rules footballer who played with Fitzroy in the Victorian Football League (VFL).

Chapman, a ruckman and centre half-forward, first appeared for Fitzroy in the 1924 finals. He played in two semi finals and kicked two goals in each.[2] This made him the first ever Fitzroy player to make his league debut in a finals series.[3]

He was a regular fixture in the Fitzroy team from 1925 and also represented Victoria at interstate football on 10 occasions, including matches in the 1930 Adelaide Carnival.[4]

In 1929 he captained Fitzroy for the season but they would finish second last on the ladder and vacated the position when Colin Niven became playing coach.[5]

Chapman was Fitzroy's leading goal-kicker in the 1930 VFL season with 46 goals from 18 games. [2] This included seven goal hauls against both Melbourne and Hawthorn.[2] It was the only season in full-forward Jack Moriarty's 10 years at Fitzroy that he wouldn't top the goal-kicking.

He had a son, James Chapman, who played for Fitzroy in the 1950s.[6]
