Louise Christine of Stolberg-Stolberg-Ortenberg (21 January 1675 - 16 May 1738), was a German noblewoman member of the House of Stolberg and by her two marriages Countess of Mansfeld-Eisleben and Duchess of Saxe-Weissenfels.
Born in Ortenberg, she was the sixth of the eight children born from the marriage of Christoph Louis I, Count of Stolberg-Stolberg-Ortenberg and Countess Louise Christine of Hesse-Darmstadt.

In Stolberg on 11 May 1712, Louise Christine married secondly Christian, Duke of Saxe-Weissenfels. For this occasion, the Elector Frederick August I of Saxony, had the Weissenfelser Hunt Cup (der Weißenfelser Jagdpokal) made as a gift for the couple. It was a costly and complex masterpiece of gold forging executed by the brothers Johann Melchior and George Christoph Dinglinger; it took as its artistic inspiration the duke's preference for the hunt. The cup stayed in the possession of the ducal house of Saxe-Weissenfels until it became extinct; after this, it again came into the possession of the Electorate of Saxony and can be admired today in the Green Vault (de: Grünes Gewölbe). They had no children.
