Charles Robert Leslie Fletcher (22 October 1857 – 30 April 1934) was an English historian.

He was the son of Alexander Pearson Fletcher and Caroline Anna (daughter of the painterCharles Robert Leslie). From 1868 to 1876 he wasKing's Scholar atEton College. He gained a first class degree in modern history fromMagdalen College, Oxford in 1880. He was elected a Fellow ofAll Souls College, Oxford the year after. He was tutor of Magdalen from 1883 to 1906, becoming a Fellow in 1889. He married Alice Merry in 1885 and they had three sons.^[1]

Fletcher was a strong Conservative, imperialist and Protestant Anglican. HisSchool History of England included 23 new poems byRudyard Kipling but was viewed suspiciously by theOxford University Press due to Fletcher's controversial views on foreigners and democracy. Fletcher said democracy was still on trial in Britain, and claimed that the King would be obliged to dismiss any government that tried to reduce the size of theRoyal Navy or surrendered India or the colonies.^[1]
