Kristian Strøm (24 December 1892 – 10 November 1980) was a Norwegian speedskater.
He set a world record in 5000 m in 1917, when he improved Oscar Mathisen's previous record in Trondheim.[1] This record lasted four years, until it was beaten by Harald Strøm in 1921.
Strøm became national all-round champion in 1916, 1917, 1919 and 1920, and took five King's Cups.[2]
He represented the club Hortens SK,[2] and chaired the Norwegian Skating Association from 1929 to 1931.[3]
