Christian Faser Jr. (May 28, 1917 – January 17, 2004), technically Chris Faser III, was a Democrat who served in both the Mississippi and the Louisiana House of Representatives, best known as a confidant of Louisiana Governor Jimmie Davis.
Faser was born in Monroe in Ouachita Parish in northeastern Louisiana, one of three children of Chris Faser Sr. (1884–1955), a plane crash victim, and the former Pearl Wrenn (1887–1958), a native of Bolivar County, Mississippi. The senior Fasers relocated in 1940 from Monroe to Winona in Montgomery County in north central Mississippi, where they operated a pharmacy business.
