Charles Hamilton, 5th Earl of Abercorn (died June 1701) was a Scottish peer, the younger son of George Hamilton, 4th Baron Hamilton of Strabane and Elizabeth Fagan.
His elder brother Claud Hamilton, 4th Earl of Abercorn, a Jacobite, died in a sea-fight in 1691, having forfeited the Barony of Hamilton of Strabane, in Ireland, through attainder. Charles succeeded him as Earl of Abercorn and obtained a reversal of the attainder on 24 May 1692. He married his cousin Catherine Hamilton, daughter of James Hamilton, Lord Paisley, but had no children. In 1697, he was tried for the murder of John Prior on the grounds of Burford Priory, but was acquitted.
He died in Strabane in 1701, and was succeeded by his cousin, James.
