Charles Peter Howden (21 October 1911 – 6 July 2003) was a New Zealand cricketer. He was a right-handed batsman who played for Otago. He was born and died at Auckland.[1]

Howden made two first-class appearances for the team, during the 1937–38 Plunket Shield season. He scored 11 runs in two innings on his debut, and 52 runs in his second match.[2]

Educated at King's College, Howden followed his father Ernest in qualifying as a doctor.[1] He served in the New Zealand Medical Corps during World War II.[3] Both his father and uncle, Alister, also played first-class cricket. Following his death in 2003 an obituary was published in the New Zealand Cricket Almanack of 2006.[1]
