Charles Tyrwhitt Shirts Limited ( ), also known as CT Shirts, is a British multi-channel men's clothing retailer specialising in dress shirts, ties, suits, casualwear, shoes and accessories.

It was founded as a mail order company in 1986 by Nicholas Wheeler while he was a student at the University of Bristol. Wheeler has stated that he started the business because he thought he "could make a shirt better than anybody else". In 1997, the company opened its first store on Jermyn Street in London, notable for its history in British shirt making.

Wheeler's wife, Chrissie Rucker, is the founder and owner of the White Company.
