Charles-François Roy (September 14, 1835 – April 13, 1882) was a civil engineer, land surveyor and political figure in Quebec. He represented Kamouraska in the Legislative Assembly of Quebec from 1869 to 1877 and Kamouraska in the Canadian House of Commons from 1877 to 1878 as a Conservative member.

He served as colonization agent for the Gaspé district from 1862 to 1868. Roy resigned his seat in the provincial assembly in 1877 to run for a seat in the House of Commons after Charles Alphonse Pantaléon Pelletier was named to the Senate. He was defeated by Joseph Dumont when he ran for reelection in 1878. Roy died at Sainte-Anne-de-la-Pocatière at the age of 47.
