Christopher Edward Hansen (born September 13, 1959) is an American television journalist and YouTube personality. He is known for his work on Dateline NBC, in particular the former segment To Catch a Predator, which revolved around catching potential Internet sex predators using a sting operation.

In an interview with City Pulse, Hansen has said that watching the FBI and police investigate the disappearance of Jimmy Hoffa, when he was fourteen, inspired him to want to become a journalist.
