Christine Keshen (born February 6, 1978 in Invermere, British Columbia) is a Canadian curler from Calgary, Alberta.

Keshen played lead for Team Canada, skipped by Shannon Kleibrink at the 2006 Winter Olympics.

Keshen joined the team in 2005, and helped them win the Canada Cup of Curling in 2005 and the 2005 Olympic Trials.

At the Olympics, Keshen had the best percentage of any female player at the games with 81% after round-robin play.

Keshen is notable for her strength in sweeping, and shows off this strength by rolling up her sleeves during games. Very athletic, Keshen played many other sports while growing up.

Keshen posed nude for Ana Arce's "Fire on Ice" 2007 Team Sponsorship Calendar to promote women's curling.
