John Charles (born 1944) is a Welsh former professional footballer who played as a forward. He is best known for his time playing in the English Football League, primarily for Swansea Town (later Swansea City).

Charles began his professional career with Swansea Town in the early 1960s. He quickly established himself as a prolific goalscorer and a key player for the club. His performances attracted the attention of other clubs, and he eventually moved to other teams within the Football League system.

While information on his complete playing career details may be limited in commonly available sources, it is known that he contributed significantly to Swansea Town during his time there.
