Christopher Billop

Christopher Billopp (or Colonel Christopher Billop) (c.1738 – March 29, 1827) was a British loyalist during the American Revolution. His command of a Tory detachment during the war earned him the sobriquet, "Tory Colonel". After the American Revolution, he emigrated to New Brunswick, Canada along with other Loyalists and became a politician. He represented Saint John in the 1st New Brunswick Legislative Assembly.

For his great grandfather, a British naval captain, see Christopher Billopp (naval officer).
