Christophe Bühler (born January 2, 1974) is a Swiss former swimmer, who specialized in sprint freestyle events.[1] He is a single-time Olympian (2000), a ten-time member of the Swiss swimming team, and an 11-time national titleholder in the 50 m freestyle.[2] Before his retirement in 2006, Buhler trained for the Langenthal Swimming Club under his personal coach Michel Tavcar.

Buhler competed in the men's 50 m freestyle at the 2000 Summer Olympics in Sydney. He posted a FINA B-standard entry time of 22.85 from the Swiss National Championships in Zurich.[3][4] He challenged seven other swimmers in heat seven, including top favorites Jiang Chengji of China and Attila Zubor of Hungary. He edged out Croatia's Marijan Kanjer by a hundredth of a second (0.01) to earn a fifth spot in 23.15. Buhler failed to advance into the semifinals, as he placed thirty-first overall in the preliminaries.[5]
