Charlene Rendina (née Neighbor) (born 18 December 1947) is a retired Australian athlete who specialised in sprint and middle distance events.

In her first Olympic competition in Munich, 1972, Rendina set an Olympic record (51.90 seconds in her heat) on her way to the 400 metres final where she eventually finished in sixth place in 51.99 seconds. She was also in the final of the 4 x 400m relay where she ran a 50.7 leg for the Australian team that came in 6th in 3 m 28:84 secs

At the 1974 Commonwealth Games, she moved up to the 800 metres distance and took gold.

At the 1976 Olympics she was eliminated after finishing 5th in her semi-final in 2:00:29 at 800m. She was part of the Australian 4 x 400m relay team that finished 4th in 3m 25:56 secs - her leg being timed at 51.6 seconds.

In her career, she won five Australian Championships in Athletics at 800m and two at 400m.

Her personal best time for the 800m, a Hand-timed 1:59.0, set in 1976, has remained the Australian record for thirty-three years, as of February 2009.
