Christoph Brandner (born July 5, 1975 in Bruck an der Mur, Austria) is an Austrian former professional ice hockey winger.

He was drafted by the Minnesota Wild in the eighth round of the 2002 NHL Entry Draft, the 237th overall pick and became first Austrian hockey player to score a goal in the NHL, when he was playing in the 2003–04 season with the Minnesota Wild. After the NHL Lockout he signed with Södertälje SK of the Swedish Elitserien. He later returned to his longtime original Austrian team, EC KAC, where he was a cult player. Brandner retired on April 2, 2012, and remained with Klagenfurt where he is currently a Developmental Coach.[1]
