Christopher Biden (c. 1789 – 25 February 1858) was a British officer in the East India Company Mercantile Marine.

In 1818 Biden married Harriott Freeth in Great Wilne, a village in Derbyshire close to the town of Sandiacre where his brother was curate.

[citation needed] Between 1807 and 1818 Biden completed seven return voyages to India as a mate on the East Indiaman Royal George.

Whilst at Madras he worked on improving safety for shipping in coastal waters, and was involved in charitable activities.

[3] Harriott Biden kept a common-place book with newspaper cuttings, letters, etc., relating to her husband's work in Madras.
