Charles Parnell Stuart (2 April 1886 – 21 November 1958) was an Irish international rugby union player.
Stuart was a fullback, known for his long touch finding kicks, and sound tackling abilities.[1]
In 1912, Stuart became the first Clontarf player to gain an Ireland cap, appearing against the Springboks at Lansdowne Road.[2] He was largely ineffective in a 0–38 Ireland loss and received no further international opportunities.[3]
