Christin Cooper (born October 10, 1959) is a former alpine ski racer from Ketchum, Idaho. As a member of the U.S. Ski Team, she raced on the World Cup circuit from 1976-84, making her debut in late 1976 at age 17.

Cooper's best season in international competition was in 1982, when she won three medals (two silvers and a bronze) at the World Championships at Haus im Ennstal, Austria. She also had four World Cup victories and finished in third place in the overall World Cup standings. The previous year, 1981, she placed fourth in the women's overall standings.

Cooper won the silver medal in the giant slalom at the 1984 Winter Olympics, finishing 0.40 seconds behind teammate Debbie Armstrong at Jahorina. Soon after, a run at her hometown resort of Sun Valley was named in her honor: the run "Silver Fox" on Seattle Ridge was renamed "Christin's Silver". Nearby on Seattle Ridge is "Gretchen's Gold", a run named after Gretchen Fraser, a gold medalist in the slalom at the 1948 Winter Olympics and a mentor to Cooper.

Christin Cooper retired from international competition following the 1984 season, completing her racing career at age 24 with seven World Cup victories and 26 podiums.

She has worked as a television broadcaster for CBS and NBC, covering alpine ski racing including the 2010 Vancouver games. She teamed with Tim Ryan, a fellow Ketchum resident, during the 1992, 1994, and 1998 Winter Olympics. Christin and her husband, former US.Ski Team member Mark Tache are co-founders of Montana Ale Works in Bozeman, MT.
