Charles George Daigh (November 29, 1923 – April 29, 2008) was an American racing car driver. He broke into Grand Prix racing through Lance Reventlow's Scarab team, by virtue of being one of the resident engineers. Born in Long Beach, California, he participated in six World Championship Formula One races, debuting on May 29, 1960, and scoring no championship points. He also participated in one non-Championship Formula One race.

Following the 1960 season, Daigh went on to contest races in the International Formula league in Europe, driving the previous year's front-engined Scarab car. He finished eighth at Goodwood while contesting the Lavant Cup and finished seventh in an attempt at the International Trophy. He later crashed out of the British Empire Trophy at Silverstone.

Daigh was also a successful sportscar driver in America, winning the 1959 Sebring endurance classic and also trying to qualify twice for the Indianapolis 500, but without success. He also won the 1958 United States Sports Car Grand Prix at Riverside, California, driving a Scarab. This event is largely credited with launching professional sports car racing in the United States.

Daigh died in a hospital in Newport Beach, California, after a brief battle with heart and respiratory problems.
