Charles Pic (French pronunciation: [ʃɑʁl ˈpik]; born 15 February 1990) is a French former racing driver and motorsport executive, who competed in Formula One from 2012 to 2013.

Born and raised in Montélimar, Drôme, Pic began karting aged 13 with help from his godfather Éric Bernard, a former Formula One driver. Graduating to junior formulae in 2006, Pic achieved top-three championship finishes in several Formula Renault categories before progressing to the GP2 Series in 2010. After achieving several wins across two seasons in GP2, Pic signed for Marussia in 2012 to partner Timo Glock, making his Formula One debut at the Australian Grand Prix. After Marussia failed to score points all season with the MR01, Pic moved to Caterham for 2013. Another point-less campaign followed for Pic, who was released by Caterham at the end of the season, becoming a reserve driver for Lotus. Pic moved to Formula E for its inaugural 2014–15 season, finishing fourth in the season-opening Beijing ePrix for Andretti but being replaced by Matthew Brabham the following round. He competed for China Racing at four further ePrix, including a points finish in Monaco, but retired after the Berlin ePrix.

Upon his retirement from motor racing, Pic moved into business and asset management. Since 2022, Pic has maintained full ownership of French racing team DAMS, who have competed in FIA Formula 2.
