Christoph Brandner (born 5 July 1975) is an Austrian former professional ice hockey winger.

Brandner had the most goals while playing for Krefeld Pinguine team of the German DEL. He was drafted by the Minnesota Wild in the eighth round of the 2002 NHL Entry Draft, the 237th overall pick and became first Austrian hockey player to score a goal in the NHL, when he was playing in the 2003–04 season with the Minnesota Wild.
