Charles John "Butch" Schmidt (July 19, 1886 – September 4, 1952) was an American Major League Baseball infielder who played from 1909 to 1915 for the Boston Braves and New York Highlanders.

In 1914, Schmidt was a member of the Braves team that went from last place to first place in two months, becoming the first team to win a pennant after being in last place on the Fourth of July.^[1] The team then went on to defeat Connie Mack's heavily favored Philadelphia Athletics in the 1914 World Series.

In 297 games over four seasons, Schmidt posted a .272 batting average (292-for-1075) with 119 runs, 4 home runs, 145 RBI and 81 bases on balls. He finished his career with a .988 fielding percentage as a first baseman. In the 1914 World Series, he hit .294 (5-for-17) with 2 runs and 2 RBI.
