Christian Hoffmann (born 22 December 1974 in Aigen im Mühlkreis) is an Austrian former cross-country skier who began competing in 1994.

[1] Four years later at the 2002 Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City, Hoffmann finished second in the 30 km freestyle mass start event to Spain's Johann Mühlegg, but was awarded the gold medal in 2004 upon Mühlegg's blood-doping disqualification of darbepoetin.

He also won gold in the 4 x 10 km relay at the 1999 FIS Nordic World Ski Championships in Ramsau.

He and fellow skier Mikhail Botvinov also encountered controversy regarding blood doping in 2002, though both were cleared by the IOC on 9 April 2002.

In July 2012 the Austrian Anti-Doping Agency (NADA) gave Hoffman a two-year ban for violation of anti-doping-guidelines.
