Charles Richard Green (21 August 1921 – 6 May 2009)[3] was an Australian athlete. He competed in the 110m hurdles at the 1948 Summer Olympics but he failed to advance past the first round in either event.[4] He retired from competitive athletics after the Olympics to begin a long and distinguished career in medicine.[5]

Green finished second behind Joe Birrell in the 120 yards hurdles event at the British 1948 AAA Championships.[6][7]
