Charles Stewart, 3rd Duke of Richmond, 6th Duke of Lennox KG (March 7, 1639 – December 1672) was the son of George Stewart, 9th Seigneur d'Aubigny and Katherine Howard, daughter of Theophilus Howard, 2nd Earl of Suffolk.
He married, firstly, Elizabeth Rogers, after June 1659. He married, secondly, Margaret Banaster, on 31 March 1662. He married, thirdly, Frances Teresa Stewart, granddaughter of Walter Stewart, 1st Lord Blantyre, in March 1667. This last marriage was famous, as Frances Stewart had been desired by Richmond's cousin, King Charles II, as a mistress.
He died (by drowning) in 1672, aged 33 at Elsinore, without issue, and his titles became extinct. He was buried on 20 September 1673 at Westminster Abbey.
The title Duke of Richmond, along with the titles Duke of Lennox and Earl of March, was resurrected for Charles II's illegitimate son by Louise de Kérouaille, Charles Lennox, 1st Duke of Richmond and Lennox, in 1675.
