David William Christian (born May 13, 1959 in Warroad, Minnesota) was an American ice hockey forward.

Christian comes from a family of hockey players. His father Bill and uncle Roger were members of the 1960 U.S. Olympic Hockey Team that won the Gold Medal. His family is also famous for the Christian Brothers Hockey Company, makers of hockey sticks, founded in 1964 by Bill and Roger, along with Hal Bakke. Christian is best known for being a member of the 1980 U.S. Olympic hockey team that won the gold medal in an event known as the Miracle On Ice during the 1980 Winter Olympics.

Within a week of the Miracle On Ice, Christian joined the Winnipeg Jets, who drafted him in the 1979 NHL Entry Draft. Just 7 seconds into his first NHL shift, Christian electrified the sold out Winnipeg crowd with his first professional goal. After a roller-coaster career in Winnipeg, he went on to play in the NHL with the Washington Capitals, Chicago Blackhawks, Boston Bruins and St. Louis Blues. In 1009 NHL games, he scored 340 goals and 433 assists.

Christian attended the University of North Dakota in Grand Forks, North Dakota.

He was inducted into the United States Hockey Hall of Fame in 2001.
