Charles Turnbull Mannes (25 October 1863 – 29 December 1937) was a Scottish first-class cricketer and educator.

Mannes was born at Glasgow in October 1863. A club cricketer for Drumpellier Cricket Club from 1888 to 1914,[1] he made his debut for Scotland in first-class cricket against the touring West Indians at Edinburgh in 1906. He made two further first-class appearances for Scotland, playing against the touring South Africans in 1907, and Nottinghamshire in 1908.[2] He scored 129 runs in his three matches at an average of 21.50;[3] he made one half century, a score of 62 against the South Africans.[4] Although he did not bowl at first-class level, Mannes was considered one of the greatest all-round cricketers that Scotland had produced.[5] [6] In club cricket, he scored 49 centuries.[7] Outside of cricket, Mannes spent many years as an assistant master at The Clarkston School in Airdrie, later becoming its headmaster.[8] He retired from teaching in 1927, and later died at his Airdrie home in December 1937.[6]
