Charles Porset (15 April 1944 – 25 May 2011, aged 67) was a French writer and historian. He wrote numerous books, articles and papers on the "Fait Masonic" in the eighteenth.

Freemason

Charles Porset was a member of the Grand Orient de France, in which he held several important positions defending a modern, committed and demanding conception of freemasonry.

As historiographer, one of his most important work is the Dictionnaire prosopographique consacré au monde maçonnique des Lumières (Europe-Amériques et dépendances) which he co-directed with the academic Cécile Révauger. Until days before his death, he edited and revised articles of this impressive book whose publication took place in 2013.
