Charles Wedge (1810–1895) was a surveyor and explorer of the North-West regions of Western Australia. Wedge was born in Cambridgeshire, England; he was the eldest son of Edward Davy Wedge and a nephew of John Helder Wedge. In 1824, he emigrated to the Colony of Van Diemens Land (later Tasmania) with his father, uncle and cousin, John Charles Darke. Charles Wedge worked initially as an assistant government surveyor with the Survey Department in Van Diemen's Land. "these depredations did not cease till many lives were sacrificed, and, I may say, many thousands of sheep destroyed".
