Charles John Tyndall DD (30 May 1900 – 3 April 1971)[1] was the 13th Bishop of Kilmore, Elphin and Ardagh [2] who was later translated to Derry and Raphoe.[3]

Educated at The King's Hospital and Trinity College, Dublin[4] and ordained in 1925, his first post was a curacy at Clontarf.[5] He then held incumbencies at Enniscorthy and Drumcondra before being appointed Rural Dean of Fingal and then (his last post before elevation to the Episcopate in 1956[6]) Archdeacon of Elphin and Ardagh. While at Kilmore, Tyndall was elected Bishop of Derry and Raphoe on 14 October 1958 (his election was confirmed the same day); he resigned on 30 September 1969.

He was the uncle of John Tyndall, the former chairman of the National Front and founder of the British National Party.[7]
