Charles Edward Perry Jr. (October 22, 1934 – May 2023), better known as Charles Bates was an American child actor.

Bates appeared in over 40 films between 1935 and 1952, mostly in small roles. He is probably best known as young Roger Newton in Alfred Hitchcock's thriller Shadow of a Doubt (1943). Other notable roles include The North Star (1943), San Diego, I Love You (1944), Pursued (1947) and Shockproof (1949). His last film was The Snows of Kilimanjaro, where he played Gregory Peck's character as a 17-year-old.

Bates went on to study electrical engineering, and retired from the State of California in 1996 as a senior electrical engineer. After retirement, he lived in the Pacific Northwest. Bates died in Spokane, Washington in May 2023, at the age of 88.
