Charlie Sheringham (born April 17, 1988 in Chingford, England) is a footballer who is currently playing for Crystal Palace in The Championship. He wears the number 37 shirt and plays as a striker. He is the son of ex-England forward Teddy Sheringham, currently of West Ham United.

Sheringham originally started out at his father's first club, Millwall, as part of their academy set-up, before moving on to another of Teddy's teams, Tottenham Hotspur. Having been released by Spurs, he was given a trial at Bournemouth, and then another at Ipswich Town, in which he impressed and was given a one-year contract. At Portman Road, he won an FA Youth Cup winners medal as a sub in 2005. Ipswich released him in ths summer of 2005. He was transferred to Charlton Athletic on a free transfer but failed to make an impact in south east London and was very soon released, after which he went on trial at Crystal Palace, playing several games for Kit Symons' reserve side. He impressed, and was kept on for the pre-season by manager Peter Taylor, scoring in a first-team pre-season friendly at Stevenage Borough. He also impressed against American champions, the Los Angeles Galaxy, which led to him being given a professional contract, on a month-by-month contractual deal. He then impressed even further, and was given a full contract, lasting two years.
