Kristof Wilke (born 17 April 1985 in Radolfzell) is a German former representative rower. He is a three time world champion and an Olympic gold medallist.

At the 2012 Summer Olympics in London, he stroked the German men's eight crew that won the gold medal in the eights competition. Later that year each member of the crew was awarded the Silbernes Lorbeerblatt (Silver Laurel Leaf), Germany's highest sports award, for the achievement.[1]
