Kristian Djurhuus

Kristian Djurhuus (12 February 1895 – 20 November 1984) was a Faroese politician.

Kristian Djurhuus was the son of Elin (born Larsen) from Porkeri and Hans Andreas Djurhuus (master carpenter from Tórshavn).

He was the chairman of the town council of Froðba from 1926 to 1930 and was a regular member from 1930 to 1934.

He was a member of the Løgting from 1932 to 1962 and from 1966 to 1970 and was its speaker during the British occupation of the Faroe Islands in World War II.

The biggest crisis during Djurhuus tenure was the doctors' disputes of Klaksvík (1952–1956) which resulted in an attack on Djurhuus on November 20, 1955 when an unknown gunman shot at his house.
