Chuck Riley (born May 31, 1939) is an American politician who served as a member of the Oregon State Senate for the 15th district, which includes Hillsboro, Forest Grove, and Cornelius in western Washington County. He served three terms in the Oregon House of Representatives from 2005 to 2011.

Riley was the Democratic nominee for Senate District 15 in 2010, losing to incumbent state senator Bruce Starr.[1] However, Riley prevailed in a rematch against Starr in 2014, winning in the tightest Oregon legislative election of the year.[2]
