Christopher Ewing is a fictional character from the American prime time drama series Dallas and the continuation series. The character was first written into the series in the episode "Starting Over", which first aired on December 11, 1981. The role was portrayed by Joshua Harris from 1985 until the conclusion of the original series in 1991. In the continuation series, the role is portrayed by Jesse Metcalfe. Christopher is the adopted son of Bobby and the late Pam Ewing and the biological son of Kristin Shepard (Sue Ellen Ewing's sister) and Jeff Farraday.

The continuation series opens with Christopher's wedding to Rebecca Sutter. The series also focuses on Christopher's feud with John Ross as they disagree on how to revive the family's former glory. Tension also stems from John Ross's romance with Christopher's ex-fiancée, Elena Ramos. Christopher does his best to emulate his adoptive father's noble ways and the Ewing family name. However, John Ross's underhanded tactics and constant badgering about his not being a blood Ewing leads to Christopher making questionable choices. Rebecca is revealed to be Pamela Rebecca Barnes, the daughter of Cliff Barnes, Christopher's adoptive uncle. Their relationship falls apart when Pamela's schemes are revealed. Christopher also harbors resentment for his adoptive mother who has been gone for years, believing she abandoned him.

A "breakout role" for Metcalfe, Christopher is "Ambitious, environmentally-friendly, loyal and with a whole lot of heart, Jesse's Christopher is his father's son," Access Hollywood said of the character. TV Guide likened the character to Al Gore due to his interest in green energy.
