Christopher Wursteisen (Latin: Christianus Vurstitius) (born c. 1570) was a law student at the University of Padua from 1595. He has been identified with the Cristiano Vurstisio who was credited by Galileo^[1] with introducing the teachings of Copernicus to the University, where Galileo was teaching mathematics.^[2] He may have been a son of Christian Wursteisen of Basel, who has also been credited with introducing the Copernican system to Padua.

According to German sources, Emanuel Wurstisen (1586–1601) was a son of Christian Wurstisen (1544–1588) and studied in Basel and became a doctor in Biel.^[3]
