Charlie Ahern (25 June 1905–1930) was an Australian rules footballer who played for Collingwood in the Victorian Football League (VFL).
Despite having played just two VFL games, in rounds nine and 12 earlier in the year, Ahern was a surprise pick in Collingwood's side for the 1929 Grand Final. They won and Ahern became the least experienced premiership player in the history of the club. It would also be his last appearance as he suffered a broken wrist during the game and died as a result of a subsequent infection.
