Charles Abrahams ( 2 June 1838 - 13 April 1893 in Copenhagen) was a Danish architect who worked within the framework of historicism. He was the brother of theatre director Severin Abraham.

Abraham was the son of a professor at the University of Copenhagen. He studied under Nebelong, and began designing manor houses with French Renaissance influences. He exhibited at Charlottenborg Spring Exhibition in 1864 and 1870. He married Vilhelmine Petersen on 26 October 1877 in Copenhagen. Amongst his works are Næstved Station (1870) (since rebuilt at least three times), Tureby Station, and numerous other railway stations and buildings.
