Charles Vane (c.1680 – 29 March 1721) was an English pirate captain who sailed the West Indies from 1716 until 1719.
After arriving in Nassau in 1717, where he and Jack Rackham informed Edward Kenway of a large prize in a nearby fort, Vane became a leading member of Nassau's community. He was also present when Woodes Rogers arrived in Nassau to offer all pirates there the King's pardon, allowing them to be absolved of their crimes. Contrary to Benjamin Hornigold, Vane was not keen on the idea of taking the pardon, and he worked with Kenway to orchestrate an escape from Nassau.
When Edward Thatch announced his retirement, Vane tried to talk him out of it, but failed in his attempt. Edward met with him after Thatch's death, and Vane decided to help him find the Observatory. They found the Royal African Pearl, a slave ship belonging to the Royal African Company, hoping to find information on the Sage Bartholomew Roberts, but Vane's ship was scuttled.
Afterwards, Jack Rackham commandeered the Jackdaw, leaving Edward and Vane marooned on Isla Providencia. Due to Vane's increasingly deadly antics, Edward left him out there when he saw a chance to escape. He was later found by British soldiers and taken to Port Royal, where he was imprisoned. He was executed in 1721.
