Charles Frank Lucas (25 November 1843 – 27 September 1919) was an English first-class cricketer and solicitor.

Lucas was born in November 1843 at Stowe-by-Chartley, Staffordshire. His association with cricket in Hampshire began in 1860 and he played for early Hampshire cricket teams.[1] Lucas made his debut in first-class cricket in Hampshire County Cricket Club's inaugural first-class match against Sussex at Southampton in 1864.[2] He scored his only first-class century the two years, making 135 runs against Surrey.[1] Across all levels of cricket in 1866, he scored over 1,000 runs in the season.[1] Lucas played first-class cricket for Hampshire until 1880, making fourteen appearances.[2] In these he scored 502 runs at an average of 20.08.[3] He also made three first-class appearances for the Gentlemen of the South against I Zingari in 1866, and the Players of the South in both 1866 and 1867.[2] For the Gentlemen of the South, he scored 148 runs with a highest score of 48.[3] As a fielder, he was considered one of the best long stops in England.[1]

Outside of cricket, Lucas was a solicitor in Southampton.[1] He died at Carshalton in September 1919. His cousin was the Test cricketer Bunny Lucas.[4]
