Charlotte Ellen Cornwell (born 26 April 1949) is an English actress.

Trained at the Webber Douglas Academy of Dramatic Art in London, Cornwell's professional career began with three seasons at the Bristol Old Vic Company, playing a broad range of roles from Kate Hotspur in Shakespeare's Henry IV to Becky in Sam Shepard's The Tooth of Crime.

Cornwell was a leading member of the Royal Shakespeare Company for three years, including Rosalind in As You Like It and Beatrice in Much Ado About Nothing and has worked as a leading actress with the Royal National Theatre since 1984. She has worked extensively both in the West End and at fringe venues, and has appeared in the US in several productions, including Richard III and An Enemy of the People opposite Sir Ian McKellen, Athol Fugard's The Road to Mecca, Terence McNally's Master Class, Stephen Sondheim's A Little Night Music (San Francisco Bay Critics' Award), and Alan Bennett's The History Boys at the Ahmanson Theatre in Los Angeles. In a return to staged Shakespeare, in Summer 2016 she was the Chorus in the Regent's Park production of Henry V.
