The Charleston Chasers was a studio recording ensemble that recorded music on Columbia Records between 1925 and 1930.

The Charleston Chasers recording sessions were often a pseudonym for Red Nichols Five Pennies, but the name was used by Columbia for various other outfits including the Original Memphis Five. The Charleston Chasers records had an all-star cast of musicians and even featured several fine vocal recordings.
