Count Christian of Waldeck-Wildungen (24/25 December 1585 – 31 December 1637), , official titles: Graf zu Waldeck und Pyrmont, was since 1588 Count of Waldeck-Eisenberg and after the division with his brother in 1607 Count of . He founded the new cadet branch of Waldeck-Wildungen and is the progenitor of the princes of Waldeck and Pyrmont.

Never before was the independence of the county of Waldeck more threatened by Hesse than during the reign of Count Christian. Together with his younger brother Wolrad IV, however, he later successfully continued the sovereignty-oriented territorial policy of their father Josias I. They made use of the legal possibilities and chose during the for Waldeck disastrous Thirty Years’ War the for them favourable side of Sweden. However, neither count lived to see the end of the war and with it the conflict with Hesse.[1]
