Charles Anthony Swainson was born on May 29, 1820, in Liverpool, England.
He was an English theologian. He studied at the Royal Institution, Liverpool, and Trinity College, Cambridge (B.A., 1841; M.A., 1844; D.D., 1864). He was ordained deacon in 1843 and priest in 1844. He served as Principal of Chichester Theological College (1854-1870), Norris–Hulse Professor of Divinity (1864-1879) and Lady Margaret's Professor of Divinity at Cambridge (1879-1887). Swainson was Master of Christ's College, Cambridge (1881-1887) and a canon of Chichester (1863-1882). He also served as warden of St. Mary's Hospital in Chichester. His published works deal mainly with the Eastern liturgies and the creeds, e.g., "The Greek Liturgies Chiefly from Original Authorities" (1884).
In 1852, he married Elizabeth Inman (1829–1915). He died on September 15, 1887, in Cambridge, England.
