Charles Strickland Standish (March 1790 – 10 June 1863)[1] was a British Whig politician.[2][3]

Standish was first elected a Whig Member of Parliament for Wigan at the 1837 general election where he served as a representative for the constituency. He held the seat until 1841 when he was defeated in an electoral contest. However, after an election petition unseated Thomas Bright Crosse, was reelected for the Wigan constituency, resuming his role as a Member of Parliament. He continued to serve until 1847, holding it until 1847 when he did not seek re-election[4][3]marking the conclusion of his parliamentary career.

Standish was Lord of the manor of Standish Hall, in Lancashire.
