Charles Dias de Oliveira (born 4 April 1984), known simply as Charles, is a Brazilian professional footballer who plays for Spanish club Málaga CF as a striker.
He played most of his career in Spain, mainly in Segunda División and Segunda División B.
Born in Belém, Pará, Charles started playing football with Santos FC where he arrived at the age of four, then completed his formation with Tuna Luso Brasileira still in his country and C.D. Feirense in Portugal. He started his senior career with the latter, competing in both the second and third divisions.
In the 2004 summer, Charles moved to Spain, signing with Pontevedra CF in Segunda División. He made his league debut on 28 August in a 0–1 home loss against Polideportivo Ejido, being sent off after only three minutes on the pitch.
Charles spent the following five seasons with the Galicians in Segunda División B. In his last he led the club to the promotion playoffs after scoring 15 goals in the regular season, but it eventually fell short.
In early July 2010, Charles signed as a free agent for Córdoba CF in the second level. He again netted 15 times in his first campaign, notably grabbing braces in wins against Xerez CD (3–1 away) and Albacete Balompié (5–1, home).
