For the owner of the New York Mets, see Charles Shipman Payson.

Charles Payson (d. 1913), of Massachusetts[1], was a United States diplomat. He served as United States Third Assistant Secretary of State from June 22, 1878 to June 30, 1881.[2] In 1881, United States Secretary of State James G. Blaine removed Payson from office so that his son, Walker Blaine, could become Third Secretary.[3] At that time, Payson became U.S. Chargé d'Affaires to Denmark, holding that office from August 12, 1881 to February 23, 1882.[4] Payson's wife Fanny was the daughter of Governor of Wisconsin Cadwallader C. Washburn.[5] After the ending of Payson's diplomatic duties in 1882, the Paysons lived mainly in Europe.[6]
