Christopher Young est un compositeur américain de musiques de films, né le 28 avril 1958 à Red Bank, dans le New Jersey (États-Unis). Il est reconnu pour sa maîtrise du style avant-gardiste des compositeurs contemporains du XXe siècle, de Béla Bartók à Krzysztof Penderecki. Il est passé maître dans les musiques de films d'horreur ou d'épouvante, tout en s'imposant régulièrement dans des films plus intimistes et dramatiques (Meurtre à Alcatraz) ou grand public (Spider-Man 3). En 2023, il enregistre une partition inédite, Nosferatu, a symphony of horror pour le film Nosferatu le vampire réalisé par Friedrich Wilhelm Murnau sorti en 1922.
