Christian Nadé (born 18 September 1984) is a French professional footballer who plays for Dumbarton as a striker.
Nadé has played for clubs such as Troyes AC, Le Havre, Sheffield United and Heart of Midlothian and has also represented the France national under-21 football team.
Nadé was born in Montmorency, France. He came through the ranks at ES Troyes AC, and made his debut for the club on 19 January 2000 against RC Strasbourg in the French Championnat. While with ES Troyes, he spent a six-month loan spell at Le Havre.
He signed a three-year contract for Sheffield United on 27 June 2006 and scored on his debut for the club in a friendly against Rotherham United on 28 July after coming on as substitute for Rob Hulse in the 70th minute. He scored his first competitive goal for the Blades in a League Cup 2nd round tie against Bury at Bramall Lane on 19 September 2006. His first Premiership goal came on 30 December 2006 against Arsenal in a famous 1–0 win. It was the last goal of 2006 in English football. On 16 July 2007 Hull City confirmed that they had agreed a fee with Sheffield United for Nadé, believed to be in the region of £550,500, and were to hold talks with the striker. Due to concerns over his long-term fitness Nadé was offered an incentive-based contract, which he refused and the move subsequently broke down.
