Charles Shoebridge (born 1961) is a writer, broadcaster, and Russia Today commentator on security, intelligence, terrorism, and crime issues.

Charles Shoebridge worked in counter-terrorism with the British Army and the Metropolitan Police until he retired in 2000.[1] He ultimately won three separate employment tribunal cases against the Metropolitan Police, the last being for "victimising" him by interfering with his media work.[2]

After retirement he worked as a pundit, making TV, radio and newspaper contributions, including as one of the host presenters of the television series Crisis Command.

Shoebridge repeatedly spoke out about the war in Syria,[3] suggesting that the White Helmets were a UK propaganda unit.[4]
