Charles-François Roy (September 14, 1835 – April 13, 1882) was a civil engineer, land surveyor and political figure in Quebec. He represented Kamouraska in the Legislative Assembly of Quebec from 1869 to 1877 and Kamouraska in the House of Commons of Canada from 1877 to 1878 as a Conservative member.
