Christopher Grant La Farge Jr. (December 10, 1897 – January 5, 1956) was an American novelist and poet known for writing verse novels that chronicled life in Rhode Island.

His paternal grandfather was the painter and stained-glass artist John La Farge and his younger brother Oliver Hazard Perry also became a novelist.

Following the success of his brother Oliver’s novel about Navajo Indian life, Laughing Boy, La Farge worked with his father on exhibits of Native American arts at the Brooklyn Museum.

He also began contributing stories and poems to magazines such as the New Yorker, The American, Harper's, and the Saturday Review of Literature.

Its plot revolved around the domestic difficulties of a father and a son, and at least one reviewer saw in it reflections of La Farge’s own life.

"His intention," wrote Newsweek, "was to report the war not with named and dated facts, but deliberately in the form of fiction.

In 1941, he collected ten stories he had written about a single family under the title The Wilsons; his first work in prose, it was described as a "wicked and graceful...study of American snobbism.

La Farge’s one published play, Mesa Verde (1945), was originally conceived as an opera libretto and is notable for including Navajo speech and phraseology.

La Farge wrote occasional book reviews and articles, as well, such as a 1954 analysis of the reactionary elements in Mickey Spillane's Mike Hammer novels.
