Christopher Codrington (1668 – 7 April 1710) was a Barbadian-born colonial administrator, planter, book collector and military officer. He is sometimes known as Christopher Codrington the Younger to distinguish him from his father. Codrington inherited one of the largest sugar plantations in Barbados. Under his will he established and endowed Codrington College, now part of the University of the West Indies with his estates in Barbados and Barbuda. His will also endowed the Codrington Library at All Souls College, Oxford with a gift of books and money. In November 2020, his name was removed from the library, as his wealth had been derived from slave labour.
