Charlotte Hough[pronunciation?] (c. 1833 – January 17, 1896), known as Lotty Hough, sometimes spelled Lottie Hough, was a 19th-century actress and comedian. She played roles for the companies of Laura Keene and Mrs. John Wood.[1][2]

She debuted in New York at the Bowery TheatreinThe Stranger as Charlotte Hough. She also acted in London.[3] Around 1871 she gave a lecture tour on "Popping The Question".[4]

During the U.S. Civil War, she was involved in obtaining passes to get cotton through Union lines.[5]

T. Allston Brown's History of the American Stage (1870) described Hough as a "well known impersonator of Yankee characters" with "considerable talent."[6]
