Christina Chan (born 25 April 1987[citation needed]) is a political activist in Hong Kong, known for her stand on human rights, democracy and Tibetan independence.

[citation needed] Chan was arrested on 9 January 2010 over her alleged assault on a policewoman during an anti-Express Rail protest on New Year's Day; she was released on HK$500 bail.

Paparazzi followed her around her university, her personal photos from her Facebook account were published in Oriental Press Group magazine East Week, and her dress sense, body measurements, and relationship with her boyfriend, 27-year-old Australian musician Nick Brazel, became popular topics of discussion in internet forums.
