The name Cristobal has been used for four tropical cyclones in the Atlantic Ocean.

  • Tropical Storm Cristobal (2002), a relatively weak tropical storm causing only minor damage in Bermuda
  • Tropical Storm Cristobal (2008), formed near the South Carolina coast causing minimal damage
  • Hurricane Cristobal (2014), a Category 1 hurricane that affected Caribbean islands, Bermuda, and the United States East Coast
  • Tropical Storm Cristobal (2020), a large tropical storm which marked the earliest third-storm formation in the Atlantic since record-keeping began. Stalled over the Bay of Campeche before making landfall in Mexico, then turned north into the Gulf and made a second landfall in Louisiana as a strong tropical storm.

The name "Cristobal" replaced the name "Cesar" after 1996's Hurricane Cesar caused that name to be retired.
