Charlie Oatway (born 28 November 1973) is an English footballer. Oatway is a midfielder who currently plays for Brighton & Hove Albion.

Oatway's biggest claim to fame is that he has the longest name in English football. His full name is Anthony Philip David Terry Frank Donald Stanley Gerry Gordon Stephen James Oatway. The reason behind this rather unusual name is the fact that both his parents were big Queens Park Rangers fans, and decided to give their son the names of QPR's entire 1973 first-team squad. When his parents told his aunt the proposed name, she said "he'd look a right Charlie", and the name stuck.

He has previously played for Cardiff City, Torquay United and Brentford, he also spent a brief loan spell at Lincoln City.
