Thursday October Christian, Jr. (1 October 1820 – 27 May 1911) [1] was a Pitcairn Islands political leader. He was the grandson of Fletcher Christian and son of Thursday October Christian (14 October 1790 – 21 April 1831),[1] and mother, Teraura (c.1775 - 15 July 1850).[1] He was also known as "Doctor", "Duddie" [1] or "Doodie". He spent several years on Norfolk Island but returned to Pitcairn in 1864.[1] Christian was three quarters Polynesian.

He was the fifth Magistrate of the Pitcairn Islands, holding the office in 1844, 1851, 1864,[1] 1867, 1873–1874, 1880, and 1882.[1] Everyone named Christian on Pitcairn is descended from him; a number of family branches, however, left Pitcairn permanently and settled on Norfolk Island.

He married Mary Young, granddaughter of Ned Young, on 24 March 1839. They had 17 children,[1] none of them named as a month name or week day. Seven died as children and three lived past the age of 73.[1]
