查尔斯·桑德斯·皮尔士（，；中文常译為皮尔斯或帕爾斯，实际读音为，同“purse”，更接近“珀斯”）是美国的哲学家、逻辑学家、数学家，被尊为“实用主义之父”。

生平 
1839年生于马萨诸塞州坎布里奇，早年在哈佛大学接受教育，后任教于霍普金斯大学。

皮尔士在其一生中被很大程度上忽视了，直到第二次世界大战对他的研究文献仍很缺乏。他的很多巨著仍未出版中譯本。他是数学、研究方法论、科学哲学、知识论和形而上学领域中的改革者，他自认为首先是逻辑学家。尽管他主要对形式逻辑做出重要贡献，他的「逻辑」所含盖的很多内容现在被称做了科学哲学和知识论。他发现并创建了作为符號學分支的逻辑学，他发现逻辑运算可以用电子开关电路完成，因此预见了电子计算机。

他被威廉·詹姆士認為是美國當代實用主義的奠基人。
