Charles Stuart (c. 1757–1758 – 31 March 1828), known by the nickname Hindoo Stuart, was an Irish officer in the East India Company Army, known for being one of a few officers to embrace Hindu culture. He also wrote books and several newspaper articles extolling Hindu culture and tradition and urging its adoption by Europeans settled in India, and deploring the attitudes and activities of the Utilitarians and missionaries who deprecated Indian culture.
