Jens Christian Hostrup (born 20 May 1818 in Copenhagen - died 21 November 1892 in Frederiksberg) was a Danish poet, dramatist and priest.
Comforting and encouraging the people, he created poems that filled the hearts of his compatriots.

His dramas were on current topics such as feminism, free love and home, maybe one of the reasons why he often used the pseudonym Jens Kristrup (Christrup).
