Charles Abrahams was a sculptor and artist.
Charles James Abrahams (died c. 10 May 1868) was a sculptor active in Sydney in the 1840s, reckoned to be the first to practice there.
Abrahams was the son of a successful London architect, and studied under one Swier of the Royal Academy. He arrived in Sydney by way of New Zealand, in 1843, and was an exhibitor at the first exhibition of sculpture to be held in Australia, at the Royal Hotel, Sydney in 1845. His wife Elizabeth died in Glebe, New South Wales on 17 October 1869, aged 35 years.
Works by Abrahams have been held by the Tasmanian Museum and Art Gallery, and the Mitchell Library, Sydney.
