Christiane Weber (born 1959 or 1960) is a former German rower from Hamburg, Germany.

Weber, who is a primary school teacher by profession, only started competing at the age of 27. [1] Together with Alrun Urbach, she won the German Championships in the light doubles doubles in 1988, then they were nominated for the World Championships in Milan, where they reached the final and finished 5th. The following year, the duo won the championship title, and at the World Championships in Bled they rowed for the bronze medal.

In 1993, Weber had to take a break because she was temporarily paralyzed after an injection against sciatic pain. Only in 1994 she was able to train again, and in 1996 she was again German runner-up in the lightweight double-two with Constanze Ahrendt. Afterwards, Weber, who rowed for the rowing club on the pond meadows, ended her career.
