Charles P. de Saint-Aignan (born 16 February 1977 in Paris) is a software engineer from the United States currently contributing to the IBM Watson initiative at IBM. He completed his secondary education at St. Paul's School (Concord, New Hampshire) in 1995 and earned his degree from Brown University (Providence, Rhode Island) in 1999.
During 1994, de Saint-Aignan collaborated with Ted Bowell at the Lowell Observatory, where he was involved in the discovery of several asteroids. He chose to name his initial find, 8710 Hawley, in tribute to Walter N. Hawley, his physics and astronomy instructor during high school.
In recognition of his achievements, the minor planet 5995 Saint-Aignan received its name on the occasion of his 20th birthday.
