Christian Celinder (born in 1964, Copenhagen), is a Danish luthier and founder of CELINDER Guitar Design. Celinder incorporates modern-day knowledge to produce some of the finest hand-built bass guitars on the market.

Celinder studied as a pianist at the Royal Danish Academy of Music, Copenhagen, before falling in love with the bass. He learned the double-bass and bass guitar from Bo Stief and Niels Henning Ørsted Pedersen (NHØP) before starting his lutherie business at the Basslab in Copenhagen, Denmark, in 1987.
