Charles Andrew Armstrong (April 20, 1919 – July 20, 2001) was an American football halfback and fullback. Armstrong was born in Hickory, Mississippi, in 1919 and attended Newton High School in Newton, Mississippi. He played college football at Mississippi College from 1938 to 1940. He was the leading scorer in the Dixie Conference in both 1939 and 1940 and was selected as the first-team quarterback on the 1940 All-Dixie Conference football team. In October 1940, the Clarion-Ledger wrote: "Armstrong is the answer to any coach's prayer as a triple-threat back. He does a large part of the running, practically all of the punting, and gives his roommate, Bob Majure, a helping hand with the passing attack of the Tribesmen."
