  • Christian August Selmer (født 16. november 1816 i Fredrikshald, død 1889) var norsk statsminister, jurist og konservativ politiker. Selmer var Stortingsrepresentant fra 1871 til 1874 og medlem av regjeringen fra 1874 til 1880. Under den bitre kampen om statsrådenes adgang til Stortinget ble tatt ut riksrettstiltale mot regjeringen Selmer, som i 1884 ble dømt til å ha sitt «embete forbrutt», først og fremst for å ha frarådet sanksjon i statsrådssaken. Kongen, Oscar 2. så seg til slutt nødt til å avskjedige regjeringen Selmer. Deretter ble Selmer fradømt sitt embete og kort tid etter utnevnt til generalauditør for hær og marine. (no)
