Christian Scott, aussi connu sous le nom Christian Scott aTunde Adjuah et Chief Xian Adjuah, est un trompettiste de jazz américain. Il est né à La Nouvelle-Orléans le 31 mars 1983.

Le trompettiste est reconnu pour son timbre chaud et sa capacité à jouer des notes rondes et floues inhabituelles pour son instrument. Sa musique, très métissée, se situe aux frontières du jazz, du free jazz, du hip-hop, de la soul et du jazz fusion.
