Christian Kruik van Adrichem, or Christianus Crucius Adrichomius, (Delft, February 13, 1533 — Cologne, June 20, 1585) was a Catholic priest and theological writer. He was ordained in 1566, and was Director of the Convent of St. Barbara in Delft till expelled by the storm of the Reformation.

His works are: Vita Jesu Christi (Antwerp, 1578) and Theatrum Terrae Sanctae et Biblicarum Historiarum (Cologne, 1590). This last work gives a description of Palestine, of the antiquities of Jerusalem, and a chronology from Adam till the death of John the Apostle in A.D. 109.
