Charles Henry Dufour, Jr, CD (born 25 April 1940) is the immediate Archbishop emeritus of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Kingston in Jamaica, having served from 2011 to 2016.

Dufour was born in Kingston, Jamaica, to Charles Sr and Mavis; he grew up in Rollington Town, Greater Kingston, and received primary education at Holy Rosary Preparatory before advancing to St Mary's College in Above Rocks, St Catherine. His studies for the Priesthood took place at the then-Seminary of St Michael, Kingston, as well as in England at the now-closed St Joseph's College, Upholland, Lancashire.

He was ordained on 12 August 1970 and appointed Parochial Vicar in such circumstances that he served the Churches of the Holy Rosary (Windward Town) and St Joseph (Spanish Town). He moved to the Churches of St Benedict (Harbour View), the African Martyrs of Uganda (Bull Bay) and Christ the King (Port Royal) in 1972 where he served for some ten years as Pastor of the respective parish(es). Then, for another ten years after this, he was made Rector of the Seminary, the first such who could call it his alma mater. He was also, for some time between 1982 and 1996, Pastor of Christ the King Church in August Town.
