Sir Charles Alexander Fleming KBE FRS FRSNZ FRAOU[1][3] (9 September 1916 – 11 September 1987) was a New Zealand geologist, ornithologist, molluscan palaeontologist and environmentalist. He spent the last twenty years of his life studying the evolution and systematics of New Zealand cicadas.[4][5]

Fleming was a Coastwatcher on the Cape Expedition in the Auckland Islands from 1942–1943 during World War II.[6][7] Fleming graduated from the University of Auckland in 1952 with a doctoral thesis on the geology of Whanganui.[8][9]

He was active in the Save Manapouri Campaign, was a spokesperson for Native Forest Action Council and the Royal Forest and Bird Protection Society of New Zealand. He was elected to the American Philosophical Society in 1973.[10] In 1974 he was elected a Fellow of the Royal Australasian Ornithologists Union.[citation needed] He was also trustee of the Ngā Manu Nature Reserve.[11]

In 1988 the Royal Society of New Zealand established the Charles Fleming Award which is awarded to individuals who have achieved distinction in the protection, maintenance, management, improvement, or understanding of the environment.

Sir Charles Fleming has been honoured by having dozens of species named after him, mostly Mollusca, but also Foraminifera and Echinodermata: e.g. Alcithoe flemingi Dell, 1978; Austrodiaphana flemingi A.
