Chartres Brew (31 December 1815 – 31 May 1870) was a Gold commissioner, Chief Constable and judge in the Colony of British Columbia, later a province of Canada.
Brew's name was conferred on two mountain summits in British Columbia, both named Mount Brew. The higher one at 2891 m is located just south of the Fraser Canyon town of Lillooet, and which is the second-highest in the Lillooet Ranges after Skihist Mountain. The other is just east of Likely, British Columbia in the Cariboo district, 2057 m, adjacent to Quesnel Lake. ::figure[src="https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/f/f4/Chartres_Grew.jpg" caption="Sign in [[Cahir]], Ireland, marking a house where Brew lived while subinspector of police."] ::
