Christiaan "Chrisjan" Ernst Fourie (Lydenburg, 17 June 1858 – Pietersburg, 15 August 1943) was an Anglo-Boer War commander of the Middelburg and Johannesburg Commandos and later a combat general (Afrikaans: veggeneraal) for the South African Republic.

[1][2] In the first months of the Anglo-Boer War Fourie fought several battles and was raised to the rank of Combat General (Afrikaans: veggeneraal) on 13 December 1899 by the interim Kommandant-Generaal of the South African Republic.

Fourie succeeded in providing the commandos with salt and maize, but was captured by the British due to treason in March 1900.

He however managed to escape from his prison in Middelburg in June 1900, and continued fighting the British to the end of the war.

[1][2] In old age, he led the horse commando on a parade in Middelburg during the centennial commemoration of the Great Trek in 1938.
