We have searched for direct CP violation in quasi-two-body charmless B decays observed in a sample of about 45 million B mesons collected with the BABAR detector at the PEP-II collider. We measure the following charge asymmetries in decay: {Alpha}{sub CP}(B{sup {+-}} {yields} {eta}{prime}K{sup {+-}}) = -0.11 {+-} 0.02, {Alpha}{sub CP}(B{sup {+-}} {yields} {omega}{pi}{sup {+-}}) = 0.01{sub -0.31}{sup +0.29} {+-} 0.03, {Alpha}{sub CP}(B{sup {+-}} {yields} {phi}K{sup {+-}}) = -0.05 {+-} 0.20 {+-} 0.03, {Alpha}{sub CP}(B{sup {+-}} {yields} {phi}K*{sup {+-}}) = -0.43{sub -0.30}{sup +0.36} {+-} 0.06, and {Alpha}{sub CP}(B{sup 0}/{bar B}{sup 0} {yields} {phi}K*{sup 0}/{bar K}*{sup 0}) = 0.00 {+-} 0.27 {+-} 0.03.
