Charles Napoleon "Nipper" Kingstone (2 July 1895 – 6 May 1960) was a New Zealand sportsman who played international rugby union for New Zealand. He was also a first-class cricketer.

A fullback, Kingstone played all three of his Tests during South Africa's 1921 tour of New Zealand.[1] He was injured in a motor accident in 1922 and didn't play again for New Zealand.[2]

Kingstone played just one first-class cricket match. He represented a team called the "Rest of New Zealand" in a fixture against the national team at Basin Reserve in 1927. Despite coming in at 10 in the batting order, Kingstone scored 43, the second highest on the innings. He was his team's wicket-keeper but didn't claim any catches.[3]
