Christian Schkuhr (1741–1811) was a German gardener, artist and botanist.

He studied at the University of Wittenberg; while continuing to work as a gardener, he also became a master of design and engraving. An adherent of Linnaean taxonomy, he devoted himself to studying the flora of Wittenberg.

The genus Schkuhria was named after him by Conrad Moench (now considered synonymous with Sigesbeckia).

The standard author abbreviation Schkuhr is used to indicate this individual as the author when citing a botanical name.^[1]
