Christina Hardyment (born 1946) is a British writer who first established herself as an expert on parenting in 1983 when her book Dream Babies questioned much of the advice contained in child care books.

Hardyment has since written on a wide range of subjects including food, gardens, children's books and domestic life. She is the daughter of Norwegian writer and soldier Eiliv Odde Hauge. Hardyment is the author of numerous books on social history and literature and in 2015 edited a new food anthology, The Pleasures of the Table. She lives in Oxford.
