Charles Messina (b. October 21, 1971) is an American writer and director.

Messina was born in Greenwich Village, New York, of Italian-American descent. He attended New York University. Known for his deconstructive take on biographical subjects, Messina's most notable stage work as director includes the critically acclaimed Off-Broadway plays, "Cirque Jacqueline", about the life of Jackie Kennedy Onassis, and "Mercury: The Afterlife and Times of a Rock God" about Queen frontman Freddie Mercury.

On the big screen, Messina has written "They're Just My Friends", which was released in Fall 2006, starring Lord Jamar, Malik Yoba, and Bruce Altman. He has also written the film "Spy" starring Vincent Pastore, Frank Vincent, and Ben Curtis.
