Charles Alfred Wilson (April 4, 1855 – June 3, 1935) was a leading nineteenth-century American railroad engineer and civil engineer. He was born in Conowingo, Maryland. Wilson married Carrie Ione Stevens Wilson (1858–1919) in 1883, and they had one child, Hamilton Wilson.[1]

His signature project was the Cincinnati Union terminal project, where Wilson, as a consulting engineer, worked with Henry M. Waite, the chief engineer, to direct the work of about 100 engineers and assistants to come up with seven engineering studies for the terminal. In 1935, the American Society of Civil Engineers recognized Wilson as one of its most knowledgeable railroad engineers.
