Curtis Philip Berry (c. 1786 - 1837-40) was the owner of the Trinity estate in Manchester Parish, Jamaica, and a slave-owner. He was an architect by profession and also served as a magistrate.[1] He was elected to the House of Assembly of Jamaica in 1820.[2]

It was claimed by The Christian Observer that he branded his initials C.P.B. on the shoulders and breast of one of his slaves.[3]
