Kristiane Konstantin-Hansen, also Christiane Constantin Hansen, (16 September 1848–13 July 1925) was a Danish weaver, textile artist and retailer who specialized in embroidery.
A daughter of the celebrated painter Constantin Hansen, together with the daughter of another Golden Age figure, she opened an embroidery shop in central Copenhagen in 1873.
The business proved to be highly successful over the next 30 years, attracting custom from individuals, churches and schools, and receiving several international awards.
It closed in 1903 to enable Konstantin-Hansen and her colleague Johanne Bindesbøll to create large tapestries for Frederiksborg Castle.
Konstantin-Hansen was also active as a pioneering feminist.
