Charles Lucas Townsend (7 November 1876 – 17 October 1958) was a Gloucestershire cricketer.
An all-round cricketer, Townsend was classically stylish, left-handed batsman, who was able to hit well despite his slender build.
His off-side strokes were particularly effective, and his driving allowed him to score at a consistent pace throughout his major innings.
In his younger days Townsend was also a spin bowler, who relied chiefly on a big break from leg but could also turn the ball the other way.
He was often extremely difficult on sticky wickets but very rarely effective on good ones.
