Sir Charles Pym, 1st Baronet (c. 1615 – 1671) was an English politician who sat in the House of Commons from 1641 to 1648 and in 1660. He served in the Parliamentary army in the English Civil War.

Pym was the son of John Pym and his wife Anna Hooker or Hooke.

In 1641, Pym was elected Member of Parliament for Bere Alston in the Long Parliament after the previous member was expelled. He served in the parliamentary army in the civil war, but was excluded from parliament under Pride's Purge in 1648. He was created a baronet by Richard Cromwell.

In April 1660, Pym was elected MP for Minehead and for Bossiney in the Convention Parliament and chose to sit for Minehead.

Pym was confirmed in his baronetcy by Charles II on 14 July 1663.

Pym's only son Charles died in 1688 and the baronetcy became extinct.
