Christian Ziege (born February 1, 1972 in Berlin) is a former German football (soccer) defender and midfielder. With the German national team, Ziege won Euro 96.

On the club level, Ziege played for Bayern Munich (1990-97), AC Milan (1997-99), Middlesbrough (1999-2000), Liverpool (2000-01), Tottenham Hotspur (2001-04), and Borussia Mönchengladbach (2004-2005). He won the Bundesliga title twice with Bayern and the Serie A title once with Milan. He also won the UEFA Cup with Bayern in 1996 and with Liverpool in 2001. With the club from the Merseyside, he also gained the 2001 League Cup. He is the answer to the football trivia question, "Which player has played in the Milan, Munich, Merseyside, Tyne-Tees and North London derbies."

For Germany, Ziege has been capped 72 times, scoring nine goals. Other than the Euro 96 win, he also played for his country at the 1998 and 2002 World Cups (during which he played the final game), as well as Euro 2000 (he was a member of the Euro 2004 squad, but didn't play). Ziege announced his retirement on 20th October 2005 at the age of 33 due to a persistent ankle injury, passing a course in which he gained the UEFA Pro Licence. In July 2006 he started his first job as a coach, taking over the U16 of his last club Borussia Mönchengladbach.
