  Charles Wigoder (born 2 March 1960) is an English telecommunications entrepreneur, associated with building both Peoples Phone and Telecom Plus (The Utility Warehouse) into substantial and successful businesses.

The son of The Right Honourable Lord Wigoder, QC PC (his children are entitled to use The Honourable title), Wigoder studied accountancy and law at University of Kent.

Wigoder qualified as a chartered accountant with KPMG in 1984 and was subsequently employed by Kleinwort Securities as an investment analyst in the media and communication sectors,
where he met Michael Green.

Green later hired Wigoder in 1985 as head of corporate finance and development at television services company Carlton Communications, to accelerate the growth of the organisation; whilst he was there, turnover grew from under £5m to over £200m.

He subsequently moved to Sangers Photographic, a USM listed wholesaler of photographic equipment, where he was responsible for rebranding the business as Quadrant Group.

He took the business to a full stock market listing, and expanded its activities to encompass three separate divisions covering photographic, video and communications services.

Married to Elizabeth, the couple have a son and three daughters. The couple live in London.

In the summer of 2013, Wigoder donated £1 million to the Kent Law Campaign to help build a new home for the University of Kent's Kent Law Clinic. This has been named The Wigoder Law Building.

Wigoder is an expert bridge player who won the prestigious Cavendish Invitational Teams in 2004.
