Apparent similarities between non-local theories of gravity and the so-called C-theories are pointed out. It is shown that some simple C-theories can be mapped exactly into a previously considered type of ghost-free non-local gravity. This may introduce a useful tool to tackle some infinite-order derivative theories and raises the possibility of describing renormalizable gravity in a new context of D-theories.
