Charlie Smith Dannelly (born August 13, 1924) is an American politician who served as a Democratic member of the North Carolina Senate, who represented the 33rd (and later 38th) district from 1994 to 2013. His district includes constituents in Mecklenburg County. A retired educator from Charlotte, North Carolina, Dannelly served several years as Deputy President Pro Tempore of the Senate.
In 2012, Dannelly, then the longest-serving lawmaker representing Mecklenburg County, filed to run for another term but due to his wife's deteriorating health, he dropped out and endorsed another candidate in the Democratic primary, Joel Ford.
