Jean Christian Ferslew (3 March 1836 – 6 July 1910) was a Danish newspaper publisher and paper manufacturer.

He inherited a small printing business in the 1850s which under his management as C. Ferslew & Co. developed into the largest Danish newspaper publishing company of the late 19th and early 20th century.

Ferslew was originally intended for a career as an engraver but following his father's early death he was instead sent to Berlin to apprentice as a lithographer in 1854.

The collaboration with the much elder Bing was not without difficulties but Ferslew often came out with the upper hand and, on 1 October 1857, bought him out of the company in a partnership with lithographer Philip Berendt.

It was initially an advertisement pamphlet but, instigated by the outbreak of the Second Schleswig War, he soon decided to turn it into a proper newspaper.

The newspaper, which was issued twice daily (13.00 and 16.00), was directed at an even broader readership than Dags-Telegraphens and became a big economic success.

Ferslew married Anna Johanne Christine Lindholm, (12 September 1837 - 24 October 1904) on 5 November 1858 in Nykøbing Falster.
