Charles Edward McCausland (born 4 October 1898 in Dublin, Ireland; died 12 November 1965 in Folkestone, Kent, England) was an Irish cricketer. A right-handed batsman and right-arm fast-medium bowler,[1] he played four times for the Ireland cricket team in the 1920s,[2] including two first-class matches against Scotland. He also played first-class cricket for Dublin University.[3]

He made his first-class debut playing for Dublin University against Essex in July 1922.[3] His Ireland debut followed later the same month when he played against Scotland[2] in a first-class match. Almost two years later, he again played first-class cricket for Dublin University, this time against Northamptonshire.[3] This was followed the next month by a match for Ireland against Scotland.[2]

He played two non first-class matches for Ireland in August 1924, both against the MCC.[2] He played one final first-class match for Dublin University, again against Northamptonshire, in 1925,[3] a match that also featured the Irish playwright Samuel Beckett.[4]
