Christian Gerhard Ameln Sundt (1 July 1816 – 26 February 1901) was a Norwegian businessman, ship owner and philanthropist.

He was born in Bergen to merchant Henrik Leganger Sundt and Sophie Catharina Ameln.

He started his own business in 1845, and had success as wholesaler in the textile trade, being lucky with the timing.

Sundt also started as private banker, and invested large parts of his fortune in ships that were constructed in Bergen.

[1][2] Sundt donated large sums of money to social, cultural and scientific purposes and also created a number of scholarships.
