Kristian Fjeld (16 February 1887 – 23 December 1976) was a Norwegian politician for the Labour Party. He was Minister of Agriculture from 1945 to 1951.[1]

Fjeld comes from Vestre Toten, Oppland, but it was as a local politician for Stange and as a member of the parliament for Hedmark that he made his contributions to Norwegian politics.[1]

During the occupation of Norway by Nazi Germany he was imprisoned in Hamar on 29 August 1942, and incarcerated in Grini concentration camp from 1 September 1942 to the war's end in May 1945.[2]
