For the American missionary, see Charlotte Fowler Baldwin.

Baldwin was one of the earliest female theatre managers in the United States. She was the founder and manager of the City Theatre, Warren Street, Broadway in 1822, and was the first woman in the USA who founded her own theatre rather than inheriting one. She was a popular actor as old women in comedies, notably at the Park Theatre, where she was engaged in 1816.
