Charles Champion Rawlins (13 April 1846 – 10 July 1918) was a 19th-century Conservative Member of Parliament in New Zealand for just over a year.
He won the Tuapeka electorate in a by-election on 2 November 1898 after William Larnach committed suicide; and lost it in the 1899 general election, on 15 November 1899.[1]
Born in Liverpool, Lancashire, England, on 13 April 1846, Rawlins was a mining engineer. He arrived in New Zealand in 1875.[2] Rawlins died at Riverton on 10 July 1918, and was buried at Riverton Cemetery.[3]
