Charlotte Cooper is a writer, activist and zinester from the UK.

Charlotte Cooper is the editor of a number of zines. One of her first zines was Kink. This free zine was described on the front cover as a "queer grrrl sex zine". It contained Cooper's writing, either as articles, critiques, or more personal writing; also included were interviews, pranks and comics. The zine ran for ten issues.

She also collaborated with boyfriend Simon Murphy, himself the editor of the zines Girly and Attack on Bereznik, the two producing the comic zine All Right. Two issues were released.

As well, she has produced a number of one shot zines. One of these zines, Village, made its way into Jason Burker's 1999 film Subterranean Homesick Blues.

Charlotte has contributed to a number of zines, including Fat Girl. She also writes for a number of magazines, including Diva, On Our Backs and others. Cooper is also the author of two books. One of these books, Cherry, has the distinction of being impounded by Canadian Customs and banned in Canada.
