Charles Patrick Ryan O'Neal, Sr. (January 6, 1904 – August 29, 1996) was an American film and television screenwriter and novelist.

Born in Raeford, North Carolina, O'Neal attended the University of Iowa, then moved to San Diego, where he joined an acting troupe that included his future wife Patricia Callaghan. After publishing a short story in Esquire, he decided to forgo performing and turned to screenwriting mostly B-movies, among them The Seventh Victim, Cry of the Werewolf, The Missing Juror, I Love a Mystery, Montana, and Golden Girl. O'Neal's television credits include The 20th Century Fox Hour and The Untouchables. Together with Abe Burrows, O'Neal adapted his 1949 novel Three Wishes for Jamie McRuin for the short-lived 1952 musical Three Wishes for Jamie.

O'Neal was the father of actor Ryan O'Neal and screenwriter/actor Kevin O'Neal and grandfather of Tatum and Griffin O'Neal. He died in Los Angeles, California at the age of 92. O'Neal was given the nickname "Blackie" while attending the University of Iowa, and was known by this name to his friends through much of his life.
