Claudius Crigan (c. 1743 – 5 April 1813)[2] was an Anglican clergyman who served in the Church of England as the Bishop of Sodor and Man from 1784 to 1813.[3]

A native of Omagh, County Tyrone, Ireland, he was educated at Trinity College, Dublin.[4] He became the chaplain to an infantry regiment stationed in the West Indies, and whilst there, he married Mary, widow of John Harmon of Antigua.[2] After retiring from the army, he became the Rector (or Chaplain) of St Anne's Church in Liverpool.[2]

He was nominated Bishop of Sodor and Man by Charlotte Murray, Duchess of Atholl on 1 March 1784 and received royal assent on 27 March 1784.[3][5] He was consecrated on 4 April 1784 and enthroned on 5 May 1784.[3][5]

He died in office on 5 April 1813, aged 74. He had become a Doctor of Divinity (DD).[citation needed][when?]
