Christopher B-Lynch, MA, MBBS, LRCP, MRCS, FRCS, FRCOG, MAE (b. October 1, 1947), born Christopher Balogun-Lynch in Freetown , Sierra Leone, was a British Consultant Obstetrician and Gynaecological Surgeon famous for his surgical inventions, most notably the B-Lynch Brace Suture.

Professor B-Lynch is the son of Prof. Prince E. Balogun-Lynch and Jane A. Balogun-Lynch and was educated at Oxford and St Bartholomew’s Hospital Medical College, London and graduated in 1973.
