Charles Hicks Saunders (November 10, 1821 – December 5, 1901) was a Massachusetts politician who served on the Common Council, Board of Aldermen and as the Mayor of Cambridge, Massachusetts. Saunders was the son of William Saunders, a housewright and cabinet maker in Cambridge, and Sarah Flagg. Through his Sarah Flagg Saunders, Charles Hicks Saunders was the great-grandson of John Hicks, an American Patriot killed by the British in Arlington, Massachusetts during the British retreat from Concord. He was married to Mary Brooks, née Ball, in 1849.
