Christian Järdler (born 3 June 1982) is a Swedish former footballer who played both defender and midfielder, and current manager of IFK Värnamo.

Starting his career in Ängelholms FF, he then moved at the age of 17 to Helsingborgs IF, after being on trial at Halmstads BK. During the middle of the 2005 season he decided to leave Helsingborg and sign for Turkish side Gençlerbirliği, however the spell with the club lasted only for half a season before Järdler returned home to Sweden and Malmö FF. During his time in Malmö, he suffered a serious injury when, in a league match against Hammarby IF, he collided with teammate Raoul Kouakou, the collision resulted in a broken cheekbone and a severe headache, which would hunt him afterwards.

In early 2009 Järdler left Malmö FF and signed for league rival Halmstads BK. Järdler competed primarily with Per "Texas" Johansson over the leftback position and when "Texas" left Halmstad after the 2010 season he became the regular on the position. The start of the 2011 season was a nightmare for Järdler as the headache returned and forced him miss out on half the season and despite his return the club was relegated by the end of the season. As Halmstad set to play in Superettan 2012, Järdler decided he would stay and help the club return to Allsvenskan and when the season was over he decided to sign a new contract with the club. In the middle of 2013 Järdler was left out of the match squad for unknown reasons, he later confirmed that the headache had somewhat returned following a clash during training, which had frightened him. On September 12, 2013 Järdler annonuced that he would retire from playing fotboll immediately due to his headache problems.
