Charles Carnan Ridgely (December 6, 1760 – July 17, 1829) was born Charles Ridgely Carnan. He is also known as Charles Ridgely of Hampton. He served as the 15th Governor of the state of Maryland in the United States from 1815 to 1818. He also served in the Maryland House of Delegates from 1790 to 1795, and in the Maryland State Senate from 1796 to 1800. Charles was born in Baltimore. He was the son of John Carnan and Achsah Ridgely, sister of Captain Charles Ridgely. The Maryland Gazette described him as an aristocrat. "As a Senator or Delegate, justly appreciating the merits and demerits of the human character, he always avoided visionary schemes and dangerous experiments." (Maryland Gazette) Ridgely devoted his tenure to internal improvements. He devoted his attention to the state during the unpopular war with Great Britain. It appropriated ground for the erection of a Battle Monument in Baltimore, aided education, and chartered manufacturing and insurance companies, so that 'during his administration, the State enjoyed its greatest period of prosperity.' Ridgely passed an act which provided education for the poor in five separate counties; which was seen as important to the early development of public education in Maryland. A second act created the Commissioners of the School Fund. The act appropriated a fund to establish free schools within the state of Maryland.

Charles Carnan Ridgely, ibland kallad Charles Ridgely of Hampton, född Charles Ridgely Carnan 6 december 1760 i Baltimore, Maryland, död 17 juli 1829 i Baltimore County, Maryland, var en amerikansk federalistisk politiker, slavägare och industrialist. Han var guvernör i delstaten Maryland 1816–1819. Ridgely ärvde herrgården Hampton och största delen av dess landområde efter morbrodern Charles Ridgely som var verksam inom järnindustrin. Ett villkor för arvet var byte av efternamn från Carnan till Ridgely. Till egendomen hörde många slavar och i sitt eget testamente gav Charles Carnan Ridgely instruktioner om en gradvis frigivning av de flesta slavarna. Detta resulterade i att över 300 slavar blev frigivna i etapper efter hans död. Antalet slavar uppgick till omkring 350 vid tidpunkten av Charles Carnan Ridgelys död. Det ovanliga med Hamptons slavar var att en del av dem var sysselsatta med industriarbete. Ridgely var gift med Priscilla Dorsey. Parets dotter Prudence Gough Ridgely gifte sig med George Howard. Ridgely var ledamot av Marylands delegathus 1790–1795 och ledamot av Marylands senat 1796–1800. Av äktenskapet till Priscilla föddes tolv barn. Ridgelys förmögenhet var enastående bland de tidiga guvernörena i Maryland. Livsstilen var aristokratisk; till egendomen ingick utöver slavarna ett bibliotek som innehöll 175 böcker och ett markområde på 10 000 acres (över 4 000 hektarer). År 1816 efterträdde Ridgely Levin Winder som guvernör; tre år senare efterträddes han av Charles Goldsborough.
