Charles C. Knox (born 1929, Atlanta, Georgia) is an American composer and music educator. He is particularly noted for his music for brass instruments and chamber music, among his over 100 compositions to date. Knox received a B.F.A. in Music from the University of Georgia where he joined the Phi Mu Alpha Sinfonia music fraternity (Epsilon Lambda chapter) in 1950 and was later elected to Phi Beta Kappa.

Now retired from teaching, Knox was Professor of Music at Georgia State University for over three decades. In 2001 he was recipient of a ''Mayor's Fellowship in the Arts'' from the City of Atlanta.
