Charles Nagel (August 9, 1849 - January 5, 1940) was a United States politician and lawyer from St. Louis, Missouri. Born in Colorado County, Texas to Dr. Hermann and Friedericke Litzmann Nagel, he served in the Missouri House of Representatives from 1881 to 1883, was president of the St. Louis city council from 1893 to 1897 and was a member of the Republican National Committee from 1908 to 1912. In 1909, President William Howard Taft appointed Nagel Secretary of Commerce and Labor which he served as until 1913. He was the last person to serve in the post before it was separated to two cabinet positions, Secretary of Commerce and Secretary of Labor. Nagel was also a founder of the United States Chamber of Commerce. He died in St. Louis, Missouri on January 5, 1940 and was interred there in Bellefontaine Cemetery.

Nagel was the brother-in-law of Louis Dembitz Brandeis, an Associate Justice of the United States Supreme Court.
