Charles Harrington Broad (5 October 1872 – 7 September 1959) was a New Zealand cricketer and school teacher. He played eight first-class matches for Nelson and Otago between 1888 and 1900, and was headmaster of Nelson College from 1922 to 1933.
Broad was born at Nelson on 5 October 1872. His father was Lowther Broad, the Nelson resident magistrate and younger brother of Charles Broad, and his mother was Isabella Mary Broad (née Bunny), the daughter of Henry Bunny.
Broad was educated at Nelson College from 1884 to 1892. The latter years of that period were as an extramural student studying for a Bachelor of Arts, and he graduated from Auckland University College in 1893. Broad married Annie Maria Murray at Hokitika on 8 May 1905.
In all, Broad played eight first-class cricket matches.
Broad made his first-class debut for Nelson, against Wellington at the Basin Reserve, in the 1888–89 season. Batting at number four in the first innings and number nine in the second, he made an inauspicious start to his first-class career, making a pair. He bowled seven overs for 26 runs, and did not take a wicket. Nelson lost the match by an innings and 190 runs.
His second and last first-class appearance for Nelson, also against Wellington, was in the 1891–92 season at Trafalgar Park. Opening the batting in the first innings, Broad made one run, and in the second innings, batting at three, he scored 12 runs. He did not bowl in Wellington's first innings, but in their second he took two wickets for 13 runs off 3.2 overs. Wellington won the match by one wicket. The wicketkeeper for Nelson in the match was Broad's younger brother, Edward.
