Charles Joseph Fogarty, Jr., also known as Charlie Fogarty (born September 15, 1955) is the former Lieutenant Governor of the U.S. State of Rhode Island. He is a Democrat. Fogarty served two full terms as Lt. Governor, first elected to the position in 1998 and leaving office on January 2, 2007.

His father, Charles Fogarty, Sr., was a State Senator and Director of the Rhode Island Small Business Administration. His uncle, John E. Fogarty, was a United States Congressman for 26 years. His brother Paul W. Fogarty was elected as a Rhode Island State Senator in 1998 and still holds the position.

A graduate of La Salle Academy and Providence College, Fogarty received a master's degree in Public Administration from the University of Rhode Island.

Fogarty was previously elected to the Glocester Town Council in 1984 and in 1990 was elected as a State Senator, where he served for eight years. While a State Senator, he served as both Majority Whip and Senate President Pro Tempore.

Fogarty was a candidate for Governor of Rhode Island in 2006. He was running against incumbent Republican Governor Donald Carcieri, as Fogarty was barred from seeking re-election in 2006 due to term limits. He was defeated by a slim margin of 8,000 votes.

Rhode Island is one of 19 states that elects its governor and lieutenant governor separately rather than on a single party ticket.

As of January 2011, and appointed by Governor Lincoln Chafee, Fogarty is the Director for the Rhode Island Department of Labor and Training.
