Christians kirke (English: Christian's church) is a Rococo church in the Christianshavn district of Copenhagen, Denmark. Designed by Nicolai Eigtved, it was built 1754–59.

Formerly known as Frederiks tyske kirke (English: Frederiks German church), it was originally built by the German community as a church for their large community at Christianshavn and served this purpose until the end of the 19th century. Today it is a regular parish church for Christian's Parish within the Danish National Church. Its name is a reference to King Christian IV, who founded the Christianshavn district in 1611.
