Charles Stephen Trimmier (October 25, 1918 – January 23, 1967) was a Mobile, Alabama-area community leader and politician who served one term as the city's Public Works Commissioner (1961-1965), during which he also served two one-year terms as the city's Mayor. Both of his terms as Mayor of Mobile were when the title was co-extensive with the presidency of the City Commission.
He was elected to the City Commission in 1961 by defeating incumbent commissioner Charlie Hackmeyer. He was defeated for re-election in 1965 by challenger Lambert C. Mims, who served in the position for 20 years. Trimmier Park at 3600 Alba Club Rd in Mobile was named after him. Trimmer died in a car crash in 1967.
