Charles Mouton (c. 1626 - ?) was a French lutenist and composer. Little is known of his life other than that he was probably born in Rouen or its vicinity; there is no concrete evidence that he was a pupil of Denis Gaultier, although he was clearly a follower at least in spirit. He also probably spent some time in Italy. <a href="https://www.last.fm/music/Charles+Mouton">Read more on Last.fm</a>
