Christopher Joseph Weldon (September 6, 1905 – March 19, 1982) was an American prelate of the Roman Catholic Church. He served as bishop of the Diocese of Springfield in Massachusetts from 1950 to 1977.
In 2020, an investigation by the diocese determined that an accusation of sexual abuse of a minor against Weldon was highly credible.[1]
