Charles Strathern Paterson (18 November 1882 – 23 July 1973) was a Scottish first-class cricketer.

Paterson was born in November 1882 at Edinburgh. A club cricketer for both Carlton and Grange Cricket Club's, he made his debut for Scotland in first-class cricket against Ireland at Edinburgh in 1913, with him appearing in the same fixture played at Dublin the following year.[1] Paterson served in the British Army during the First World War, being commissioned as a second lieutenant in the Royal Scots in January 1917.[2] He resigned his commission following the war in September 1920, at which point he held the rank of lieutenant; upon his resignation he was granted the honorary rank of captain.[3]

Paterson resumed playing first-class cricket for Scotland in 1924, appearing in two matches that year against Ireland and Wales. He made three further first-class appearances between 1925 and 1927, playing twice against Ireland and once against Lancashire.[1] As a lower order batsman in the Scottish side, he scored 188 runs at an average of 26.85, with a highest score of 49.[4] As a right-arm medium pace bowler, he took 10 wickets at a bowling average of 24.40, with best figures of 4 for 33.[5] Outside of cricket, Paterson was a manager in the insurance industry. He died at Edinburgh in July 1973.
