Christian Frederiksen (born 31 January 1965) is a Danish-Norwegian sprint canoer and marathon canoeist who competed from the late 1980s to the early 2000s (decade). Competing in four Summer Olympics, he won a silver medal in the C-2 1000 m event at Barcelona in 1992.

Frederiksen moved from Denmark to Norway after the 1996 Summer Olympics in Atlanta.
