Christian Krohg was a Norwegian lawyer and politician. He is mostly remembered for his activity in the years following the passing of the constitution of Norway in 1814.

After his death, a memorial to Christian Krohg was inaugurated in Oslo on the 17th of May, 1833 with an accompanying speech by Henrik Wergeland. The Krohg memorial would remain a focal point of Constitution Day celebrations until the 1860s. He was the grandfather of Christian Krohg, the painter.
