Christian Backs (born 26 August 1962) is a German former professional footballer who played as a midfielder.

Backs came through the youth academy of BFC Dynamo and played professionally for BFC Dynamo (later named FC Berlin) for 12 seasons,^[1] winning eight East German titles and two cups in the 1980s.

During this time he won nine caps for East Germany, scoring once.^[2] He was also involved in the East German Olympic team who qualified for the 1984 Olympics, but was forced to stay at home, because of the East Germans' boycott of the tournament.

He took over as manager of the 'Foxes' in 2000, where he remained until 2004 when he took the reins at his old club Dynamo.
