Christian Klees (born June 24, 1968) is a German former sport shooter, the only shooter since the 1989 target change to have achieved the maximum score (600) in the 50 m Rifle Prone position event at the Olympic Games. He did this at the 1996 Summer Olympics in Atlanta, Georgia. His excellent final of 104.8 (out of maximal 109.0) also gave him the gold medal in fierce competition, as well as an aggregate result that is still as of 2005 the world record. Klees left the international shooting scene after the 2001 season.
