Charles Augustus Howell (10 March 1840 – 21 April 1890) was an art dealer and alleged blackmailer who was best known for persuading the poet Dante Gabriel Rossetti to dig up the poems he buried with his wife Elizabeth Siddal.
His reputation as a blackmailer inspired Arthur Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes story "The Adventure of Charles Augustus Milverton".
