Karl Fredrik "Charles" Ericksen (June 20, 1875 – February 24, 1916) was a Norwegian-American wrestler who competed in the 1904 Summer Olympics for the United States.
Norway did not send a team to the 1904 Summer Olympics in St. Louis. However, like his Norwegian compatriot Bernhoff Hansen, Ericksen was affiliated with the Brooklyn-based 'Norwegian Turnverein', a gymnastic club in New York, which sponsored his participation in the 1904 Olympics. He won the gold medal in the freestyle welterweight event, representing an American team.
