Sir Charles Aubrey Smith CBE (21. jul 1863 – 20. decembar 1948), poznatiji kao C. Aubrey Smith, bio je engleski teatarski i filmski glumac, te kriketaš. Glumačku karijeru je započeo u Londonu pri čemu mu je zapažena uloga bio lik negativca Ruperta od Hentzaua u jednoj od prvih teatarskih adaptacija romana The Prisoner of Zenda 1895. godine. Godine 1920. je došao u Hollywood gdje se specijalizirao za karakterne uloge ostarjelih engleskih džentlmena i ličnosti od autoriteta. U slobodno vrijeme je organizirao utakmice kriketa za svoje sunarodnjake te stekao reputaciju neslužbenog vođe tzv. Hollywoodskog Radža ili britanske kolonije u Hollywoodu.
