Christian Jensen Lofthuus (Kristian Jenssøn Lofthus) (15 May 1750 - 13 June 1797) was a farmer from Risør, Norway.
At that time, Lofthus had been selected by the village as an envoy with a list of complainants on behalf of the common people of the community.
Lofthus had an audience with the crown prince twice in June and July 1786, and by his own account he had virtually been given a royal mandate to return home to document the complaints.
During the early years of Frederick's regentship, he gave his support to liberal reforms many of which included farm measures.
When an attempt to arrest him failed, armed peasants rose on 2 October 1786, forcing local officials to grant immunity to Lofthus.
