Christian Cappelen (26 January 1845 – 11 May 1916)[2] was a Norwegian organist and composer.

Cappelen was known as a highly skilled organ player and improviser, and he gave concerts all over Norway.

He published some songs, piano pieces, organ works, cantatas, and more.

Especially known is his melody to the hymn "Min lodd falt mig liflig", which was part of the cantata for the 25-year anniversary of Diakonhjemmet Sykehus [no] (Oslo Deacon Hospital) in 1894.

In the Norwegian hymn book (1986), it was called "Min Herre har kalt meg".
