Charles James Stanley Howard, 10th Earl of Carlisle, DL (8 March 1867-20 January 1912), known as Viscount Morpeth from 1889 to 1911, was a British soldier and Liberal Unionist politician.
Howard was the eldest son of George Howard, 9th Earl of Carlisle, and the Hon. Rosalind Frances, daughter of Edward Stanley, 2nd Baron Stanley of Alderley. Geoffrey William Algernon Howard was his younger brother. He was educated at Rugby and Oxford University. Howard achieved the rank of Captain in the 3rd Border Regiment and served in the Second Boer War. In 1904 he was elected to the House of Commons for Birmingham South, a seat he held until 1911, when he succeeded his father in the earldom and entered the House of Lords.
Lord Carlisle married Rhoda Ankaret, daughter of Colonel Paget Walter L'Estrange, in 1894. They had one son and three daughters. He died in January 1912, aged 44, and was succeeded in his titles by his only son George. Lady Carlisle survived him by 45 years and died in December 1957, aged 90.
