Cristian Sebastián Cejas (born April 21, 1975 in Gualeguay, Argentina) is an unattached Argentine goalkeeper, who was most recently employed by Club de Gimnasia y Esgrima La Plata. He is also known as Terremoto Cejas (Earthquake Cejas).

He began his career in 1994 in his native country Argentina, where he appeared in 170 games and scored six goals for Newell's Old Boys. From there he was transferred to Roma in 2001. While with Newell's Old Boys, Cejas was a regular with the first team. That was not the case while he was with Roma, where he never appeared in a match. Cejas was loaned out to the than Serie B club Siena, where he appeared in the last seventeen games of the season. From there he was transferred to a Serie B club Ascoli. There he appeared in 35 games and scored a rare goal for goalkeeper in Italian football.

Cejas was than sold to another Serie B squad Fiorentina. Prior to his arrival, Fiorentina had gained promotion from Serie C2 to Serie C1. However because of Caso Catania, Fiorentina gained promotion to Serie B. Cejas than helped complete the remarkable comeback of Fiorentina to Serie A. He appeared in 52 games with the club before being sold to Empoli.

In January 25, 2006, Fiorentina acquired goalkeeper Gianluca Berti from Empoli in exchange for Cejas. However he only appeared in six games with Empoli before asking the club to terminate his contract. Cejas was upset that he had been dropped from the first team squad.

After Colo-Colo won the 2006 Apertura Championship in Chile their goalkeeper, Claudio Bravo, made a move to La Liga club Real Sociedad, leaving the them without a goalkeeper. That is when Colo-Colo signed Cejas, who has since been a regular with the first team and appeared in the Copa Sudamericana 2006 with the club. Cejas with Colo-Colo has won two championships, the 2006 Clausura and 2007 Apertura.

His younger brother Mauro Cejas plays for Tecos UAG in Mexico
