Charles Biddle (1745–1821) was a Pennsylvania statesman.
His father was William Biddle, 3rd (1698–1756), and mother was Mary Scull (1709–1789). He served as Vice-President of Pennsylvania from 10 October 1785 until 31 October 1787. During his term, he was an ex officio trustee of the University of the State of Pennsylvania (now the University of Pennsylvania). He was a member of the Pennsylvania Senate from 1810 to 1814.[1] He was the father of banker Nicholas Biddle (1786–1844). He also was an associate of Aaron Burr.
Although Biddle vacated his seat at Council on 13 October 1787 the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania records that his Vice-Presidential term extended to 31 October, the date of the next Presidential and Vice-Presidential elections. Biddle was elected Secretary of the Council on 23 October.
