Christian Brentano (24 January 1784 – 27 October 1851) was a German writer and Catholic publicist from Frankfurt. He was the brother of Clemens Brentano, a famous German poet of the Romantic school.

Brentano is noted for editing and releasing nine volumes of his brother's work in 1851–55. He survived Clemens, who actually died in 1842 while visiting Christian in Aschaffenburg.
