Christian Lundgaard (Danish pronunciation: [ˈkʰʁestjæn ˈlɔnˀˌkɒˀ]; born 23 July 2001) is a Danish professional racing driver who currently drives the No. 45 Honda for Rahal Letterman Lanigan Racing in the IndyCar Series. He was the 2022 IndyCar Series Rookie of the Year, and was a member of the Alpine Academy from 2017 until 2022.

Lundgaard began his single-seater career in 2017, where he won the F4 Spanish and SMP F4 Championship in his debut year. In 2018, he made a move to the Formula Renault Eurocup, where he placed runner-up to Max Fewtrell. He secured a promotion to ART Grand Prix in the 2019 FIA Formula 3 Championship where he ended 6th. Lundgaard continued with ART Grand Prix for the 2020 Formula 2 Championship and took two wins to place 7th overall. However, a poor 2021 season saw him make a switch to IndyCar for 2022.

He won his first IndyCar race at the 2023 Honda Indy Toronto, becoming the first Danish driver to ever win an IndyCar race.^[1] Lundgaard is set to switch to Arrow McLaren for the 2025 season.
