Charles Francis Trower (21 April 1817 – 3 June 1891) was an English first-class cricketer and barrister.

The son of John Trower, he was born at Marylebone in April 1817. He was educated at Winchester College,[1] before going up to Exeter College, Oxford.[2] While studying at Oxford, he made three appearances in first-class cricket for Oxford University, playing twice in 1838 against the Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC) and Cambridge University, before making a third appearance against the MCC in 1840.[3] He scored a total of 116 runs in his three matches, at an average of 19.33 and a high score of 48.[4]

A student of the Inner Temple, he was called to the bar in November 1842.[5] He was the secretary of presentations to Lord Chancellor Westbury in 1862 and was also the author of a number of legal publications.[5] Trower died at Kensington in June 1891.
