Charles Edward "Charlie" Sheringham (born April 17, 1988 in Chingford, England) is a footballer who is a striker and currently plays for Cambridge City in the Conference South.

He is the son of ex-England forward Teddy Sheringham, who currently plays for Colchester United.

Sheringham originally started out at his father's first club, Millwall, as part of their academy set-up, before moving on to another of Teddy's teams, Tottenham Hotspur. Having been released by Spurs, he was given a trial at Bournemouth, and then another at Ipswich Town, in which he impressed and was given a one-year contract. At Portman Road, he won an FA Youth Cup winners medal as a sub in 2005. Ipswich released him in the summer of 2005. He was transferred to Charlton Athletic on a free transfer but failed to make an impact in south east London and was very soon released, after which he went on trial at Crystal Palace, playing several games for Kit Symons's reserve side. He impressed, and was kept on for the pre-season by manager Peter Taylor, scoring in a first-team pre-season friendly at Stevenage Borough. He also impressed against American champions, the Los Angeles Galaxy, which led to him being given a professional contract, on a month-by-month contractual deal. He then impressed even further, and was given a full contract, lasting two years.

On 18th April 2007 Charlie flew out to America to join Crystal Palace's feeder club Crystal Palace Baltimore on loan for four months, though he had to fly home early with a hairline fracture of the foot.

When new manager Neil Warnock gave his young players chances in the first team, he seemed to dismiss Charlie's credentials, and he was later released at the end of the January 2008 transfer window.
