Charles Stewart Murray CIE (4 December 1858- 4 May 1903) was a superintendent of police in the British Raj. Murray participated in the Chin-Lushai Expedition. Murray assisted John Shakespear, the field officer of the southern column in the expedition. After the annexation of the Lushai Hills, Murray was assigned as the first superintendent of the South Lushai Hills. However, his mishandling of authority with the Lushai tribes, such as Zakapa, would see him transferred to an assistant commissioner of the Chittagong Hill Tracts.
