Charles A. Binder (November 2, 1857 New York City – May 16, 1891 Elizabeth, New Jersey) was an American lawyer and politician from New York.

Life

He attended Public Schools No. 20 and 40, and Heidenfield's Private Academy. He graduated from Columbia Law School in 1877, was admitted to the bar in 1878, and practiced in New York City.

He was a member of the New York State Assembly (New York Co., 10th D.) in 1884 and 1886.

He committed suicide on May 16, 1891, at the Sheridan House, located on the corner of Broad Street and Rahway Avenue, in Elizabeth, New Jersey, by shooting two bullets in his head. Binder had misappropriated about $20,000 from an estate of which he was co-executor, and feared to be arrested.
