Christopher Paul Edmondson (born 25 June 1950) is a British Anglican retired bishop. He was the Bishop of Bolton, a suffragan bishop in the Diocese of Manchester, from 2008 to 2016.^[3] He is presently an Honorary Assistant Bishop in the Diocese of Leeds.

Edmondson was born on 25 June 1950.^[2] He was educated at St John's College, Durham University.^[4][5]

Edmondson was ordained in 1974 and began his ecclesiastical career with a curacy at Kirkheaton.^[6] From 1979 until 1986 he was Vicar of Ovenden, and also in the latter part of his Incumbency the Bishop of Wakefield's adviser on Evangelism. After further pastoral posts he became Warden of Lee Abbey, Lynton, Devon, in 2002.^[7][8] This lead in turn to elevation to the suffragan bishopric of Bolton on the retirement of David Gillett. He since became chair of the Scargill Movement — a position he still holds.
