Charles Hayward Izard (1860 – 18 September 1925) was a Liberal Party Member of Parliament in New Zealand, and a Wellington lawyer.

Izard was the eldest son of Charles Beard Izard, who was a prominent and popular Wellington lawyer and MP for Wellington Suburbs. After having primary education in Wellington, Izard was sent to Harrow, England and read for the bar at Lincoln's Inn where he was admitted as a barrister in 1883.

Izard returned to New Zealand and practiced with the firm Bell Gully together with his father. He subsequently practised on his own, and later partners included Thomas S. Weston, J. F. B. Stevenson, and S. J. Castle.

Izard was for many years a member of Wellington City Council. He unsuccessfully contested the Hutt electorate in the 1890 election. Izard also stood for City of Wellington in a by-election in 1905, coming second to fellow Liberal Francis Fisher.

He was elected to the Wellington North electorate in the 1905 election, but was defeated in 1908. His younger brother, Dr Arnold Woolford Izard, stood for the Wellington North electorate in the 1911 election on behalf of the Liberal Party.
