Christopher Frederick Dawson (born 15 February 1952) is a British billionaire businessman best known as the founder and executive chairman of CDS Superstores (trading as The Range and Wilko).

CDS acquired the intellectual property of Wilko in September 2023, and later acquired 49 Homebase stores, alongside its intellectual property, in November 2024.

The ultimate owner is Dawson's wife, who registers as a resident in Jersey, a place that offers tax savings over UK resident individuals.
