Charles Moss Woolf (1879–1942) was a British film distributor.

Woolf made a fortune by financing, distributing and exhibiting films after World War I, including some of Alfred Hitchcock's first films. In 1935 he resigned from the Gaumont British Picture Corporation and formed General Film Distributors. He brought J. Arthur Rank into the film industry.

He was the father of producers John and James Woolf, and of Rosemary Woolf, a scholar of medieval literature.
