Charles Perron, born on August 22, 1893, in Plessé (Loire-Atlantique), died on April 18, 1958, in Nantes, was a 20th-century French painter.

After his father's death in 1901, he lived in Le Gâvre with his mother (who died in 1931). He passed his school certificate in Blain, then trained at the École des Beaux-Arts in Nantes (1909-1913) and the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris (1913-1914 and 1919-1921). Between 1914 and 1919, not mobilized for health reasons, he held a teaching position in Nantes. He won second prize in the Grand Prix de Rome in 1921. In 1926, he won the Eugène-Thirion Prize.

From 1936 to 1945, he was curator of the Musée des Beaux-Arts in Nantes; he lived regularly in Le Gâvre and had a studio there from 1938 onwards.
Charles Perron mainly painted landscapes, particularly of the Gâvre forest.

He sometimes used the trompe-l'œil technique.

Most of his works are in private collections; a few are on display in museums in Nantes, Saint-Nazaire, Guérande, and Rennes, as well as in Paris, Cambrai, and Tourcoing.
