Charles Gore (5 December 1729 – 23 January 1807) was an English artist. He married well and travelled throughout Europe and knew royalty, Goethe and Johann Zoffany.
He attended Westminster School before working with his father's brother in a London trading company. In 1751 he married Mary (born Cockerill), whose wealth meant that Gore did not need to work again. After his father died he moved with his family in 1759 to Southampton, where he spent many days creating watercolours of naval scenes at the Portsmouth shipyards. He designed his own cutter, which he named Snail when she was launched. His social circle included the Duke of York, the Duke of Gloucester and the Duke of Cumberland, who were all brothers of King George III.

His daughter Elizabeth Gore married Rev. Henry Wood D.D (Cambridge), son of Francis Wood JP. of Monk Bretton, Yorkshire, and brother of Sir Francis Wood and of Sir Charles Wood.
"A widely travelled, cultured gentleman with artistic tastes", Gore settled in Weimar in 1792, "presumably at the instance of Karl August who had fallen in love with the second daughter, and Goethe was a constant visitor at their house".[3] He died there in 1807.
