Charles Paul McClelland (December 19, 1854 – June 6, 1944) was a Judge for the United States Customs Court.
McClelland was born on December 19, 1854, in Glenluce, Scotland. He received a Bachelor of Laws degree from New York University School of Law in 1880. He was admitted to the bar the same year, and practiced law in Dobbs Ferry.
He was a member of the New York State Assembly (Westchester Co, 1st D.) in 1885 and 1886; Deputy Collector of the Port of New York from December 1886 to March 1890; again a member of the State Assembly in 1891; and a member of the New York State Senate (12th D.) in 1892, 1893 and 1903.
On August 21, 1903, President Roosevelt appointed McClelland to the Board of General Appraisers via a recess appointment. On November 10, 1903, President Roosevelt nominated McClelland to the same seat, which had been vacated by James A. Jewell. He was confirmed by the Senate on December 7, 1903, and received his commission the following day. On May 28, 1926, he was transferred by operation of law to the newly created United States Customs Court. He served as Chief Judge of the court from 1934 to 1939. He served on the court until his retirement on September 30, 1939, and was succeeded by Judge Webster Oliver.
