Charles E. Sitton (born July 3, 1962) is an American retired basketball player. He played one season in the National Basketball Association (NBA) with the Dallas Mavericks, who selected him in the second round of the 1984 NBA draft. He went on to play in Europe.

Sitton played college basketball for the Oregon State Beavers. He was a three-time all-conference selection in the Pacific-10 (now known as the Pac-12) and was an All-American as a senior. He helped lead the Beavers to three NCAA tournament appearances.

A 6' 8" forward, he played high school basketball at McMinnville High School and college basketball for Oregon State from 1981 to 1984. As a freshman, Sitton was a member of the last Oregon State team to achieve a number 1 ranking in 1981. He was a two-time All-American and three-time All-Pac-10 selection, and was chosen as Oregon State's MVP in 1983. In Sitton's four years at Oregon State, the Beavers were 93-25 and appeared in the NCAA tournament three times and the NIT once. Sitton scored 1,561 points in his college career, and shot at a .575 field goal percentage.[1]
