Charles Henry Alexander Gummer (20 November 1905 – 17 January 1995) was an English international rugby union player of the 1920s.[1]

Gummer played for Plymouth Albion and also had a stint with Moseley while up north.[2] He represented both Devon and North Midlands. His solitary England cap came as a wing-forward against France at Colombes in 1929 and he contributed a try in a 16–6 win.[3]

A policeman, Gummer was a detective inspector in the Plympouth CID and served for 25 years before retiring in 1952.[4]
