Charles Arthur "Pretty Boy" Floyd was born in Bartow County, Georgia in 1904 and was an American bank robber.

His family moved to Oklahoma in 1911, and he grew up there. As a youth, he spent considerable time in nearby Kansas, Arkansas and Missouri. He operated in the Midwest and West South Central States, and his criminal exploits gained widespread press coverage in the 1930s. When the payroll master targeted in a robbery described the three perpetrators to the police. He referred to Floyd as "a mere boy — a pretty boy with apple cheeks." Like his contemporary Baby Face Nelson, Floyd despised his nickname.

Like most other prominent outlaws of that era, he was killed by the police. Floyd has continued to be a familiar figure in American popular culture, sometimes seen as notorious, but at other times viewed as a tragic figure, partly a victim of the hard times of the Great Depression in the United States.
