{{short description|British actor}} {{Use dmy dates|date=April 2022}} '''Charles Hulett''' (c.1700-1735) was a British stage actor. His name is sometimes written as '''Charles Hulet'''.

Hulett was the son of John Hulett, a Yeomen of the Guard and Steward to the Earl of Northampton. Born in Bloomsbury, he acted as an apprentice to the bookseller Edmund Curll for two years before turning to acting.<ref>Highfill, Burnim & Langhans p.29-30</ref> It is possible he may have first acted in Dublin, but his first known role was as Lennox in ''Macbeth'' at the Lincoln's Inn Fields Theatre on 26 October 1721. Possibly under the guidance of James Quin, he became an established member of the Lincoln's Inn Fields company. His long standing association ended in 1732 just as John Rich took the company to the new Covent Garden Theatre.<ref>Highfill, Burnim & Langhans p.30</ref>

Hulett then joined Henry Giffard at the Goodman's Fields Theatre in Whitechapel where he acted until his death, with occasional appearances at other theatres.<ref>Highfill, Burnim & Langhans p.30-31</ref>
