Princess Sophie Charlotte of Brandenburg-Bayreuth (Sophie Charlotte Albertine; 27 July 1713 - 2 March 1747), was a German noblewoman member of the House of Hohenzollern and by marriage Duchess of Saxe-Weimar and Saxe-Eisenach.

On 26 July 1741 she also became in the Duchess consort of Saxe-Eisenach after her husband inherited that land.

Sophie Charlotte died in Ilmenau aged 33. She was buried there.
