Charles B. "Lady" Baldwin (April 8, 1859 – March 7, 1937) was an American left-handed pitcher in Major League Baseball. He played six seasons in the Union Association, National League, and Players' League with the Milwaukee Brewers, Detroit Wolverines, Brooklyn Bridegrooms, and Buffalo Bisons.
Baldwin played four seasons with the Wolverines. In 1886, he had a win-loss record of 42–13 with a 2.24 earned run average in 487 innings pitched, striking out 323 of 1,936 batters faced. Baldwin also completed 55 of 56 games, seven of which were via shutout. The following season in 1887, the Wolverines won the National League pennant and the 1887 World Series behind four of Baldwin's post-season victories.
'Lady' Baldwin should not be confused with the wife of British Prime Minister Stanley Baldwin, who was from 1937 known as Countess Baldwin of Bewdley (and informally as Lady Baldwin).
