Charles Henri Malfroy (15 January 1895 - 27 April 1945) was a French painter.
He apprenticed at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts in Paris with his father Charles Malfroy, with whom he is often confused.
He exhibited regularly in Paris at the Salon des Artistes Français and the Salon des Indépendants until 1934.
Adopting a technique close to impressionism, he painted the coasts and ports of the Bouches-du-Rhône and the Var, but also landscapes of Paris and the banks of the Seine.
His work was part of the painting event in the art competition at the 1928 Summer Olympics. A member of the French Resistance during World War II, Malfroy was arrested and died in the Buchenwald concentration camp. He was posthumously awarded the Order of the Liberation.
