Charles Veley (June 25, 1965^{[citation needed]} - ) is an American man; he is a claimant to the title of the world's most traveled person. He has visited over six hundred countries, territories, and other destinations. At age 37 he became the youngest recorded person to visit all countries of the world as defined by the Travelers' Century Club.^[1]

Veley runs a website, mosttraveledpeople.com ^[2], which details his travels and invites people to register their own travel histories.

The site also allows registered users to vote for addition or removal of items on the "Master List", a list of countries, territories, autonomous regions, enclaves, geographically separated island groups, and major states and provinces, said to make up the world.

There are currently 673 items on the list. No one has visited them all; Veley himself has come closest at 629.

Veley was one of the founders of Microstrategy through which he made and lost a fortune. He lives in San Francisco with his wife and three children.
