Charles "Chuck" Harris (also sometimes called Chuch — from “Chuck Harris” — or Charles Randolph Harris) was a major British fan, active in fandom from the 1950s. He ran Tentacles Across the Sea with Dean Grennell and was an English member of Irish Fandom.

With Walt Willis he was one of the editors of the distinguished fanzine Hyphen in the 1950s. It was nominated for the 1956 Best Fanzine Hugo, the 1957 Best Fanzine Hugo, the 1959 Best Fanzine Hugo and, in 2004, the 1954 Best Fanzine Retro Hugo.

He and Willis also indulged in the Harris-White Feud, an early ’50s hoax. Later in the decade, they would be involved in the very real TAFF Wars, as a result of which Harris gafiated for many years. He emerged briefly to attend Loncon II in 1965, but wasn’t heard from again for more than a decade. He returned to full activity in the 1980s.

His regular fanzine columns included "Random" for Hyphen (also revived in Science-Fiction Five-Yearly) and "Creative Random History" for the UK Pulp. He was the subject of the Chuch Harris Appreciation Magazine.
