Christian Berglund (born March 12, 1980) is a professional Swedish athlete. He is best known for playing as a left winger in the Florida Panthers, a National Hockey League franchise.

Berglund was born in Örebro, Sweden. He began his career in Swedish Elite League with Färjestads BK and Swedish World Junior Championship teams. In the 1998 Entry Draft, Berglund became the New Jersey Devils's third choice, being chosen in the second round as the 37th overall pick. He continued to play for Färjestad until 2001, when he signed with the Devils. He played in the minor league Albany River Rats, the Devils' affiliated team, but began playing for the Devils themselves later that season. On March 1, 2004, he and teammate Victor Uchevatov were traded to the Florida Panthers in exchange for Viktor Kozlov.

In the summer of 2005 he moved to the Swiss club SC Rapperswil-Jona Lakers, a club of the highest Swiss Hockey-League. He became Topscorer of the Lakers and is the most important Player of the Team.
