Charles Payson "Chase" Coleman III (born June 1975) is an American investor, hedge fund manager, and philanthropist. He is the founder and managing director of Tiger Global Management. He was an early investor in Facebook, and he has made significant political contributions to the Republican and the Democratic parties. He is a descendant of the last Dutch governor of New York.

Coleman grew up in Glen Head, Long Island. His father, C. Payson Coleman, Jr., born in 1950, is a partner at the New York law firm Pillsbury Winthrop Shaw Pittman, and his mother, Kim Payson, owned an interior design firm.

His grandfather was Charles Payson Coleman, who was managing partner of the New York law firm Davis Polk & Wardwell until his death in 1982. He was married to Louise Stuyvesant Wainwright, aka Mimi C. Thompson, (died 1996), a direct descendant of Peter Stuyvesant, the last Dutch Governor who surrendered New Amsterdam to the English, after which it was renamed New York, and who built the wall around what is now Wall Street, for which it is named.

Coleman was educated at the Deerfield Academy. He graduated from Williams College in 1997, where he was on the lacrosse team. At Williams, Coleman studied Spanish and Economics.

He started his career in 1997, working for Julian Robertson and his hedge fund, Tiger Management. Coleman had grown up with Robertson’s son, Spencer, who lived close to Glen Head, in Locust Valley. In 2000, Robertson closed his fund, and entrusted Coleman with over $25 million to manage, making him one of the 30 or more so-called "Tiger Cubs", fund managers who started their fund management careers with Tiger Management. Fellow Williams graduate Ole Andreas Halvorsen, one of the world's wealthiest hedge fund managers, is another former "Tiger Cub," amongst other very successful hedge fund managers such as Stephen Mandel and Lee Ainslie.
