Charlie Spargo (born 25 November 1999) is a professional Australian rules footballer playing for the Melbourne Football Club in the Australian Football League (AFL). A small forward, 1.73 m (5 ft 8 in) tall and weighing 71 kg (157 lb), Spargo plays primarily as a forward, but also has the ability to play in the midfield. He has strong family connections in Australian football, whereby he is a fourth-generation VFL/AFL player, with his great-grandfather, grandfather, great uncle and father all playing in the VFL/AFL.
He was recognised as a talented footballer at a young age, being a part of the Greater Western Sydney Academy from twelve years of age. He also played as a bottom-aged player in the TAC Cup and in the Albury seniors at sixteen years of age. Further achievements as a junior included the Alan McLean Medal as the best player in division two of the under 16 championships, two-time selection in the AFL Academy and two-time selection for the Allies in the under 18 championships. Heading into his draft year, he was touted as a first-round draft selection; however, a season-ending shoulder injury saw him fall to the second round of the 2017 AFL draft when he was recruited by Melbourne. He made his AFL debut in Round 6 of the 2018 AFL season. Spargo was a part of Melbourne's 2021 premiership team, kicking one goal.
