Charles Mason (April 1728 – 25 October 1786) was an English astronomer who made significant contributions to 18th-century science and American history, particularly through his survey with Jeremiah Dixon of the Mason–Dixon line, which came to mark the border between Maryland and Pennsylvania (1764–1768). The border between Delaware and Maryland is also defined by a part of the Mason–Dixon line.

  • Charles Mason (* April 1728 in Oakridge, Gloucestershire, England; † 25. Oktober 1786 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA) war ein englischer Astronom. Am Beginn seiner Karriere arbeitete er am Greenwich-Observatorium in der Nähe von London. Er war außerdem an der von Edmond Halley geforderten Beobachtung des Durchgangs der Venus (Venustransit) 1761 beteiligt. Er beobachtete die Venus gemeinsam mit Jeremiah Dixon in Kapstadt, die Ergebnisse sollten ein Gegenstück zu den Ergebnissen der Beobachtungen in Nordeuropa sein. Zwischen 1763 und 1769 vermaß er mit seinem Partner Jeremiah Dixon die nach ihnen benannte Mason-Dixon-Linie. (de)
