Christoph Lehmann (born December 28, 1968 ) is a former Swiss ski jumper .

Lehmann made his debut in the Ski Jumping World Cup on December 12, 1987 in Lake Placid , where he was able to win his first World Cup points with 12th place. On January 1, 1988, Lehmann was able to jump into the top ten for the only time in his career with a 9th place at the New Year's competition in Garmisch-Partenkirchen . At the Olympic Winter Games in Calgary in 1988 , at the age of 19, he was the youngest Swiss participant in the squad and reached 56th place on the normal hill and 44th on the large hill. In the team competition he finished eighth together with Gérard Balanche , Fabrice Piazzini and Christian Hauswirth . In the first two World Cup competitions after the Olympic Games, he was able to jump into the points again in Planica and Lake Placid. He finished the season in 48th place in the overall World Cup standings. At the Nordic World Ski Championships in Lahti in 1989 , Lehmann jumped from the normal hill to 44th place and from the large hill to 53rd place. In the following years he could not achieve any top placements in the World Cup. At the ski flying world championship in 1990 in Vikersund , Lehmann flew to 38th place. On March 23, 1991, Lehmann managed to jump into the top twenty in ski flying in Planica with 16th place.

After he only reached 60th place again on December 30, 1992 in Oberstdorf , he was permanently transferred to the squad for the newly created Ski Jumping Continental Cup , where he jumped until the end of the season and then ended his active ski jumping career.
