Charley Pride, född 18 mars 1934 i Sledge i Quitman County, Mississippi, död 12 december 2020 i Dallas, Texas i sviterna av covid-19,[1] var en amerikansk countrysångare och basebollspelare.

Han föddes i Sledge i delstaten Mississippi som ett av elva barn till fattiga arrendatorer. Hans far kallade honom "Charl Frank Pride", men ett misstag i hans födelseattest gjorde att hans namn blev Charley Frank Pride.[2] I yngre tonåren började han spela gitarr.
