Charles Hentz (born March 17, 1948) is an American former professional basketball player.
A 6'5" forward from Arkansas AM&N College, Hentz was the 6th pick in the 5th round of the 1969 NBA draft (63rd overall pick), selected by the San Diego Rockets, but he signed with the Pittsburgh Condors of the American Basketball Association. He appeared in 57 games during the 1970–71 ABA season, averaging 6.0 points per game and 6.8 rebounds per game. Teammate Charlie Williams later recalled that "the Helicopter just stood there smiling."
A starter early in the season, Hentz was later consigned to the Pittsburgh bench. After signing ex-Boston Celtics forward Rich Johnson, the Condors waived Hentz on February 27, 1971.
Hentz played for the Wilkes-Barre Barons of the Eastern Basketball Association (EBA) during the 1970–71 season.
