Charles von Buchwald (October 22, 1880, in Bjerringbro, Viborg – November 19, 1951, in Hørsholm) was a Danish amateur football (soccer) player, who played seven games as a defender for the Denmark national football team. He was Jewish.^[1]

He won silver medals at the 1908 and 1912 Summer Olympics.^[2] He also won a gold medal with the unofficial Danish team at the 1906 Summer Olympics. In his club career, Buchwald played for Danish teams ØB and AB.

He represented Denmark at the 1906 Summer Olympics in Athens, participating in the unofficial football tournament, which Denmark won. He took part in the first official Danish national team game, played at the 1908 Summer Olympics, as Denmark won 9-0 against France B. He played all three Danish games at the tournament, and helped the team win silver medals. Four years later, Buchwald once again played all three games. In the final game, against Great Britain, Buchwald was injured in the 30th minute of the game, with Denmark trailing Great Britain 1-2. As the rules did not allow substitutions, Denmark finished the game with one man less, losing 2-4.
