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) marked the earliest third-storm formation in the Atlantic since record-keeping began. It intensified over the Bay of Campeche before making landfall in Mexico, it then slowly turned north into the Gulf and made a second landfall in Louisiana as a moderate tropical storm.

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