Christophe Pourcel (born August 16, 1988 in Marseille), is a motocross rider, and winner of the 2006 FIM MX2 World Motocross Championships.

Pourcel started international motocross racing in 2004 and soon made a name for himself on the circuit, qualifying for every MX2 race, in spite of the fact he was riding a 125cc machine racing against 250cc machines. He ended his first season in 5th place, winning one race in the Czech Republic along the way. In 2006, he and his brother Sébastien became official Kawasaki riders on the GPKR Team which was started by their father Roger and Patrick Gelade. In 2006 he won the FIM MX2 Motocross World Championship, becoming the eighth Frenchman to win a Motocross World Championship and the 3rd youngest rider ever to win one. Pourcel is defending his title in the 2007 and has announced his intention to spend the 2008 season in the USA, where the level is considered by many to be higher.
