Charles Buchanan (born January 5, 1973 in Alabama) is a printmaker and the editor of UAB Magazine.

Buchanan graduated from Hewitt-Trussville High School and the University of Alabama. He served as managing editor of UAB Medicine before being promoted to his present post in February 2014.

Buchanan's carved rubber block prints predominately document Birmingham-area landmarks. His work is displayed at area galleries and art shows, including Naked Art and Artwalk.

In 2010, Buchanan wrote an article on fading advertising signs for Birmingham magazine, which led to a publishing deal with The History Press. The book, with photographs by Jonathan Purvis, was published on November 1, 2012.
