Christoph Preuß (born 4 July 1981) is a German football player.

Preuß was born in Gießen, Hesse. Raised up in the Hessian town of Linden, he played for local TSV Großen-Linden, before moving to Eintracht Frankfurt, nicknamed the Eagles. There he became a U17 national and absolved all DFB youth teams up to the under-21 team.

Since 2005-2006 Preuß is playing for the Eagles. In the 2006-2007 campaign he had bad luck, being injured for almost the whole first half of the season. On March 17 he secured the 1-0 victory for the Eagles with a spectacular bicycle kick goal against Bayern Munich which earned Preuß the Goal of the Month award and finished second in the Goal of the Year poll.
