Christian Söderström (born October 13, 1980 in Sundsvall, Sweden) is a Swedish professional ice hockey player. He is currently a free agent after leaving Skellefteå AIK in 2009.

He was drafted by the Detroit Red Wings in the 2002 NHL Entry Draft in 9th round as the 262nd pick overall. After playing for his home town club Timrå IK since he started playing hockey as a young boy, Söderström transferred himself to league rivals Färjestads BK in January 2006. And it was a lucky move for Söderstörm, because Timrå did not make it to the playoffs and that did Färjestad and they did also won the playoffs and the Swedish Championship in April 2006. After the playoffs he signed a new two-year-contract with Färjestad.

Söderström has played a couple of games with the Swedish national team, but never played in any big tournament.
