Charles Musgrave Harvey (11 May 1837 – 2 November 1917) was an English first-class cricketer and clergyman.

The son of Rev. Richard Harvey, he was born at Hornsey in May 1837. He was educated at Charterhouse School,[1] before going up to Christ Church, Oxford in 1855, graduating B.A. 1859 (M.A. 1862).

While studying at Oxford, he made a single appearance in first-class cricket for Oxford University against the Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC) at Oxford in 1858. The following year, he made one first-class appearance apiece for the MCC against Oxford University, and for Middlesex against Kent. He made two further first-class appearances for the Gentlemen of the South against the Gentlemen of the North in 1860.[2] In five first-class matches, he scored 111 runs at an average of 15.85 and with a high score of 36.[3]

After graduating from Oxford, Harvey took holy orders in the Church of England. His first ecclesiastical post was at Halstead, where he curate from 1860 to 1863.
