Charles Ash Way (b. December 29, 1897, Embreeville, Pennsylvania; d. January 31, 1988, Honey Brook, Pennsylvania) was a college football coach and professional American football player.

After leading Penn State to an undefeated 1920 season, the tiny (144 lb.) but speedy Way began his professional career in the National Football League; first with the Canton Bulldogs in 1921 and became an All-Pro as a member of fellow Nittany Lion, Punk Berryman's Frankford Yellow Jackets in 1924. He was a member of the 1926 American Football League champion Philadelphia Quakers.

Way coached football at the University of Dayton and Virginia Tech.

He earned a Bachelor of Arts in finance from Penn State University in 1921 and had a long career with the Internal Revenue Service following his playing days. He lived in Thorndale, Pennsylvania until his death at age 90.
