Charles Albert Callis (May 4, 1865 – January 21, 1947) was a leader and missionary in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church). He was ordained an apostle by church president Heber J. Grant on October 12, 1933, and remained a member of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles until his death.
Callis was born on May 4, 1865, in Dublin, Ireland, to John and Susannah Charlotte Callis. While living in England, Callis met Mormon missionaries in Liverpool and joined the LDS Church along with his three siblings and their widow mother. The Callis family immigrated to Utah Territory in 1875 and settled in Davis County, Utah, living first in Bountiful and later in Centreville. At age 16, Callis moved to Coalville in Summit County, where he worked in the coal mines for 11 years.
Callis's mother married George Hyrum Williams on July 25, 1878, and they had several children.
In 1891, Callis was elected constable of Coalville. In 1892, he served as a church missionary in Wyoming under the direction of the Summit Stake. From December 1892 until June 1895, he served as a missionary in the British Isles, including time in the Liverpool Conference. He later served as a missionary in Iowa.
