Charles Winston Dahlquist II (born 1947) was the general president of the Young Men organization of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church) from 2004 to 2009. He was the twentieth head of the LDS Church's Young Men organization.

Born in Provo, Utah, to Charles Winston Dahlquist and Afton Ahlander, Dahlquist grew up in Boise, Idaho. He served as a missionary for the LDS Church in the Swiss Mission of the church in the 1960s and has been a stake president and the president of the Germany Hamburg Mission. Dahlquist has been involved in Scouting most of his life and is a recipient of the Silver Buffalo Award,[1] the highest honor the Boy Scouts of America can bestow on an adult for service to youth.

Dalhquist has a bachelors degree from Brigham Young University and a J.D. from the University of Utah. He is a member of the law firm of Kirton and McConkie. Dahlquist has been involved in medical malpractice defense and risk managagement law.

On April 3, 2004, LDS Church President Gordon B. Hinckley asked that Dahlquist become the general president of the church's Young Men auxiliary.[2] It was the first time since Neil D. Schaerrer was called to hold the same position in 1977 that a person who was not a general authority of the church had become the Young Men general president. Dahlquist asked Dean R. Burgess and Michael A. Neider to be his counselors in the Young Men general presidency. In 2009, he was succeeded by David L. Beck.

Dahlquist married Zella B. Darley in the Salt Lake Temple on June 2, 1969; they have five daughters.

Dahlquist lives in Sandy, Utah. In August 2009 Dalhquist was named President-elect of the Salt Lake Area Council of the Boy Scouts of America.[3]

Dahlquist has been the honorary consul for the Federal Republic of Germany since 2000.
