Charles Kay Ogden (; 1 June 1889 – 20 March 1957) was an English linguist, philosopher, and writer.
Described as a polymath but also an eccentric and outsider, he took part in many ventures related to literature, politics, the arts and philosophy, having a broad effect particularly as an editor, translator, and activist on behalf of a reformed version of the English language.
He is typically defined as a linguistic psychologist, and is now mostly remembered as the inventor and propagator of Basic English.
