Charles T. Wells (born 1939) has been a member of the Florida Supreme Court since 1994, following his appointment by Governor Lawton Chiles. He served as Chief Justice from July 1, 2000 until June 30, 2002.

Wells received his bachelor's degree from the University of Florida in 1961 and received his Juris Doctor degree from the Levin College of Law in 1964.
