Colonel Charles Hastings Judd (September 8, 1835 – April 18, 1890) was an American businessman, rancher, courtier and politician of the Kingdom of Hawaii. He served as Chamberlain and Colonel of the military staff of King Kalākaua and traveled with the monarch on his 1881 world tour.
He was born September 8, 1835, at the Old Mission Home, across the street from the modern Hawaiian Mission Houses Historic Site in Honolulu. He was the fourth child and second son of American missionaries Gerrit P. Judd and Laura Fish Judd. His younger twin sister was also named Laura Fish Judd (1835–1888). His father, originally a missionary physician, resigned his post to work as a political advisor and cabinet minister to King Kamehameha III. His younger brother Albert Francis Judd served as Chief Justice of the Hawaii Supreme Court.
Judd was educated at Punahou School from 1842 to 1849 before attending the Royal School, when the children of cabinet ministers were admitted to the institution. His fellow classmates included fellow missionary descendant William Nevins Armstrong and the future King Kalākaua. The three men developed a lifelong friendship during their childhood. From 1854 to 1856, he returned to Punahou, and traveled to the United States via the Isthmus of Panama with his mother and two sisters to visit his relatives in 1855.
From 1859, he engaged in guano mining on Jarvis Island and Baker Island for the American Guano Company. These islands were made American possession by Guano Islands Act of 1858. On November 1, 1859, he married Emily Catherine Cutts, of Portsmouth, New Hampshire, in Honolulu. His wife had come to the islands to visit her aunt Catherine Whitney, wife of Henry Martyn Whitney. The couple lived on Baker Island from 1860 to 1861 as an agent for the American Guano Company.
