Charmian Woodfield BA DipArch FSA (1929-2014) was a British archaeologist.

Charmian started worked for the Ministry of Works as a field archaeologist. She excavated many sites, including Verulamium with Sheppard Frere. Her publication record included excavation reports and monographs, specialist pottery reports, and reports of other finds, mainly focused on sites around Northamptonshire, Buckinghamshire, and the Midlands. Following her death, archaeologist David Breeze commented that Charmian had "set a new standard" for the level of reporting and recording of Hadrian's Wall after her 1965 publication of six excavations of Turrets in that region.

Woodfield was involved in the discovery and excavation of the Milton Keynes Hoard in 2000.

She was elected as a fellow of the Society of Antiquaries of London on 27 November 1986.

Charmian had a twin brother, Nicholas. She first met her husband, the architect Paul Woodfield, during excavations at Verulamium (St. Albans) and they worked together on many subsequent projects.
