Charles Louis Flint (1824–1889) was an influential figure in the agricultural education movement in the United States and a pioneer in the development of dairy farming as a scientific practice. Born in Middleton, Connecticut, Flint attended Yale College and graduated in 1849.

Flint was not only an administrator but also a writer, whose contributions to agricultural literature provided invaluable insights for farmers of his day. One of his seminal works includes 'Milch Cows and Dairy Farming' (1858), in which he compiled and analyzed European and American practices of dairy management, aiming to educate farmers on breeding, feeding, and caring for dairy cattle with a scientific approach. His commitment to advancing agricultural education was further manifested when he became the first Secretary of the Massachusetts Agricultural College, now known as the University of Massachusetts Amherst.
