Annie Charlotte Catharine Aldrich (1842 – 13 November 1916) was a British novelist who published under the name Catharine Childar.

Annie Charlotte Catharine Aldrich was born in 1842 in The Bahamas.[1] She published four novels using her pseudonym Childar, which she created as an anagram of her last name.[2] Her novel The Double Dutchman (1884) concerned a woman, Mrs. Hazelwood, and her three daughters.[3]

Aldrich met novelist Samuel Butler in Greece in 1895, though a mutual friend, Charles Gogin. Henry Festing Jones published excerpts from Aldrich's diary about their brief time in Greece in his 1919 biography of Butler.[2]

Annie Charlotte Catharine Aldrich died on 13 November 1916.
