Charles Edward Cleveland (April 25, 1951 – December 22, 2012) was an American college basketball player, known for his standout career at the University of Alabama, where he was a three-time first team all-Southeastern Conference pick and led the Crimson Tide to the program's first NCAA tournament appearance.

Cleveland was a three sport star at Bibb County High School in Brent, Alabama. He was turned down an offer to play baseball from the Cincinnati Reds to pursue basketball at the University of Alabama.[1] For the Crimson Tide, Cleveland was a starter all three of his varsity seasons (freshmen were not eligible at this time). For his career, he became the first Alabama player in program history to be named first team all conference three times.[2] In his senior season, Cleveland teamed with Leon Douglas and T. R. Dunn to lead the Tide to their first NCAA tournament berth. For his Alabama career, Cleveland scored 1,312 points (15.8 per game) and led the Crimson Tide to a combined 66–17 record (seventh best in the country during that period).[3]

Following his college career, Cleveland was drafted by the Philadelphia 76ers in the third round (41st pick overall) in the 1975 NBA draft. After being one of the last cuts, he tried his hand at football, trying out for the New York Jets, but did not make the team. Cleveland later worked at his alma mater.[1]

Charles Cleveland died on December 22, 2012.[4]
