Prince Christian of Hanover (Christian Friedrich Wilhelm Georg Peter Waldemar Prinz von Hannover) Prince of Great Britain and Ireland, Duke of Brunswick-Lüneburg (born 4 July 1885 in Gmunden, Upper Austria, Austria-Hungary; died 3 September 1901 in Gmunden) was the second eldest son of Ernest Augustus, Crown Prince of Hanover (1845–1923) and Princess Thyra of Denmark (1853–1933), the youngest daughter of Christian IX of Denmark (1818–1906) and Louise of Hesse-Kassel (or Hesse-Cassel) (1817–1898). Christian was a great-great-grandson of George III of the United Kingdom (1738–1820) and Charlotte of Mecklenburg-Strelitz (1744–1818).

Christian developed appendicitis which was not diagnosed and left untreated and the condition eventually developed into peritonitis. The prince died from the peritonitis at the age of 16 at the Hanover family's residence in Gmunden.

Patrilineal descent, descent from father to son, is the principle behind membership in royal houses, as it can be traced back through the generations - which means that the historically accurate royal house of monarchs of the House of Hanover was the House of Lucca (or Este, or Welf).

This is the descent of the primary male heir. For the complete expanded family tree, see List of members of the House of Hanover.
