Christina (or Christian) Bruce (c. 1273 – 1356/1357) was an elder sister of Robert the Bruce, King of Scots. Born at Seton in East Lothian to Marjorie, Countess of Carrick, and her husband Robert de Brus, jure uxoris Earl of Carrick, Christina was married in turn to Gartnait, Earl of Mar (died 1305), Sir Christopher Seton (died 1306), and Sir Andrew Murray.

Along with King Robert I's other female relatives, she was captured shortly after his rebellion. Unlike her sister Mary and Bruce's supporter Isabella MacDuff, Countess of Buchan, both of whom were imprisoned in cages, Christina was sent to a convent in Lincolnshire, England. Her brother Niall and husband, Christopher Seton, were executed.

In 1335, during the Second War of Scottish Independence, she commanded the garrison of Kildrummy Castle and successfully held the castle against pro-Baliol forces led by David of Strathbogie, prior to their defeat by her husband, Sir Andrew Murray, at the Battle of Culblean.
