Charles Augustus Rocke (5 October 1800 – 22 November 1865) was an English cricketer who played in six first-class matches between 1822 and 1828.
Rocke was born at Calcuta in British India in 1800, the third son of Richard and Susannah Rocke (née Pattle). He was educated at Eton before going up to Jesus College, Cambridge in 1821. He made his first-class cricket debut for Cambridge University in 1822 and went on to play in five other first-class matches, playing twice for the Gentlemen against the Players and once for MCC in 1827, and twice for Kent XIs the following year. He scored a total of 47 runs and took six wickets in these matches and is known to have also played for a side organised by Benjamin Aislabie at Lord's in 1826.
Little is known about Rocke's later life. In 1830 he was cited as a "bankrupt" in a notice in The Times and he is believed to have emigrated to Borneo in 1849, where his second cousin James Brooke was Rajah of Sarawak. He died on 22 November 1865, aged 65, at Calcutta.
