Charles Brandon Polk (born January 9, 1984) is an American professional basketball player for the Casey Cavaliers of the Big V.
After spending two seasons playing for Redlands Community College between 2002 and 2004, Polk joined the Butler Bulldogs for his junior year in 2004–05. He went on to earn second-team All-Horizon League honors in 2005, as well as Horizon League All-Newcomer Team honors. As a senior in 2005–06, he was named the Horizon League Player of the Year and earned first-team all-conference honors. In 61 games for the Bulldogs over two seasons, Polk averaged 16.0 points, 4.6 rebounds, 1.1 assists and 1.2 blocks per game.
After going undrafted in the 2006 NBA draft, Polk moved to Switzerland where he joined Benetton Fribourg for his rookie season in 2006–07. He helped the club win the Swiss Cup and the league championship, and in 19 games, he averaged 13.6 points, 5.4 rebounds and 1.5 steals per game.
Between August and September 2007, Polk spent time with Finnish club KTP-Basket, but ultimately did not sign with the team following a try-out period. He returned to the country a year later for the 2008–09 season, joining Kauhajoen Karhu. He helped Kauhajoen win the league championship that season, and in 27 games for the club, he averaged 16.6 points, 8.8 rebounds, 1.8 assists and 1.1 steals per game.
In 2010, Polk moved to Australia where he joined the Hobart Chargers of the South East Australian Basketball League. He earned All-SEABL South team honors in his first season with the club after averaging 21.0 points, 10.4 rebounds and 1.6 assists in 30 games.
Between October 2010 and January 2011, Polk played in Spain for Leche Río Breogán (seven games) and Lobe Huesca (six games).
Due to injury, Polk was forced to sit out the majority of 2011, including missing the 2011 SEABL season and a chance to play in Slovakia for MBK Rieker Komárno.
