Sir Charles Leonard Woolley (17. april 188020. februar 1960) var en britisk arkæolog, der er bedst kendt for sin udgravninger ved oldtidsbyen Ur i Mesopotamien. Han er anerkendt som en af de første "moderne" arkæologer, der udgravede metodisk, udførte detaljerede optegnelser og brugte dem til at rekonstruktioner viden om oldtidens liv og historie.[1] Woolley blev slået til ridder i 1935 for sine bidrag til arkæologien.[2]

Han var gift med den britiske arkæolog Katharine Woolley.
