Christer Samuel Björkman is a Swedish singer, television producer and a former hairstylist. He recorded his first song in the mid 1980s.

He represented his country on home ground at the 1992 Contest in Malmö with the song I morgon är en annan dag, after winning that year's edition of Melodifestivalen. It finished second-last with 9 points, Sweden's second-worst result in the contest. He entered Melodifestivalen again in 1999 with another song and finished last out of 10 participants.

Today, Christer is well known in Eurovision circles as the Swedish head of delegation and the supervisor of Melodifestivalen. He was also producer of the 2013 Contest which was also held in Malmö, bringing him full circle from his 1992 appearance. He was the producer of the 2016 contest in Stockholm, and assisted with the contests in Kiev, Lisbon and Tel Aviv.

Together with Richard Herrey from 1984 Swedish group Herreys, he founded the Marcel Bezençon Awards in 2002, which is given out annually to the best competing songs of each year's grand final.

After the completion of Melodifestivalen 2021 in March 2021 which he helped co-present, he officially retired as the show's supervisor. Additionally, he stepped down as the Swedish head of delegation. Since then, he became part of the production company Voxovation, which launched the American Song Contest for NBC in 2022 and developed similar Eurovision-style contests for Canada and Latin America.
