Charles Edward Chubb (17 May 1845 – 27 February 1930) was a judge in the Supreme Court of Queensland, Australia.

His father was Charles Frederick Chubb, a solicitor, and his mother was Sarah, née Bennett.

[2] In 1870 Chubb married Christian Westgarth Macarthur, with whom he had six children.

[3] He became a member of the Supreme Court of Queensland on 2 December 1889, serving first at Townsville until 1908, and then at Brisbane.

[4][5][6][7] The parliament undermined his security of tenure by passing the Judges Retirement Act 1921 (Qld),[8] the effect of which was that immediately upon proclamation three out of six judges, Chief Justice Cooper and Justices Real and Chubb were compulsorily retired, which permitted the government to appoint new judges.
