Christopher Hinn (June 6, 1855 – March 15, 1926) was an American miller and politician.

Born in the town of Marion, Grant County, Wisconsin, Hinn was a miller. He served as Marion Town clerk and was involved with the Mutual Fire Insurance Company. In 1891, Hinn served in the Wisconsin State Assembly and was a Democrat.[1] Hinn moved to Plainview, Texas in 1908[2] to assist his son Albert with his milling business. He purchased a wheat elevator and mill in Plainview, Texas in 1910.[3] The mill was damaged by fire in January 1926,[4] and Hinn died suddenly while working at the mill in Plainview[5] or Longview, Texas.[dubious – discuss][6]
