Charles John Irving, CMG, (7 February 1831, Isabelle Place, Camberwell, London - 23 February 1917, Exmouth) was acting Lieutenant-Governor of Penang from 1879 to 1880. He was Resident Councillor of Penang from 1885 to 1887 and Colonial Auditor General to the government of the Straits Settlements at Penang from 1867 to 1879 under governors Sir Harry Ord and Edward Anson. He was with the Colonial and Immigration Office from 1852 to 1853. He was one of the very few Straits officials who had studied the Malay political and social systems. He was an expert on native affairs on the Malay Peninsula whom Governors Ord and Anson used in different negotiations. In 1871 Anson sent James W. W. Birch, then Colonial Secretary, together with Auditor-General Irving to see Sultan Abdul Samad at Langat to re-establish order there. He was a clerk in the Audit Office at Mauritius from 1853 to 1864.
