Charlotte (Japanese: シャルロット, Hepburn: Sharurotto) is a character in the 1995 video game Trials of Mana. She is one of its six protagonists, able to be selected as either the main character or a supporting character to one of the others. She is connected to the character Kevin, who was intended by the design team to have more romantic scenes featured, but were excluded due to a lack of room in the game. Her design was created by Nobuteru Yūki and Koichi Ishii, and in the Trials of Mana remake, she was designed by HACCAN and voiced by Sumire Morohoshi in Japanese.

Reception to Charlotte was mixed, mainly due to how her dialogue was handled, with critics complaining about her tendency to swap Rs and Ls with Ws. Her voice work in the English version of the remake received particular scrutiny, with multiple critics finding that they were uninterested in having her in their party due to the dialogue.
