Charles Raymond Plott is an American economist. He currently is Edward S. Harkness Professor of Economics and Political Science at the California Institute of Technology, Director, Laboratory for Experimental Economics and Political Science, and a pioneer in the field of experimental economics.

Dr. Plott has contributed extensively to the development and application of a laboratory experimental methodology in the fields of economics and political science.
