John Charters Boyle (5 August 1869 - 10 May 1950)[1][2] was a unionist politician and surveyor in Northern Ireland.
Boyle studied at Cheltenham College and the Royal Indian Engineering College, before working as a surveyor. During the First World War, he served in the 150th Field Company of the Royal Engineers,[3] and was mentioned in despatches.[4][verification needed] He remained in the military, and was reportedly still in the military in 1922.[5] In 1926, he was appointed as High Sheriff of Armagh.[6] In 1937, he was elected to the Senate of Northern Ireland as an Ulster Unionist Party representative, despite having no previous political experience.[7] He served until his death in 1950.[8]
