Christopher Michael Langan (born 1957?) is an individual with an estimated IQ of 195 (O'Connell, 2001; Sager, 1999). With only a small amount of college, Langan has held a variety of labor-intensive odd jobs including construction worker, cowboy, firefighter, farmhand, and perhaps most famously, bar bouncer. Accordingly, he has sometimes been stereotyped as the sort of individual who combines an extremely high IQ with little or no official recognition in the academic "real world" of intellectual commerce (O'Connell, 2001). Langan currently owns and operates a horse ranch in northern Missouri.

In 2001 Langan was featured in Popular Science magazine, where he discussed his "Cognitive-Theoretic Model of the Universe" (CTMU), a philosophical model of reality. Langan explores the implications of this idea in various contexts including physics and cosmology, biological origins and evolution, psychology, ethics, and theology. Langan's ideas on physical and biological causality were recently explicated in Chapter 13 of "Uncommon Dissent: Intellectuals Who Find Darwinism Unconvincing", a collection of essays published by the Intercollegiate Studies Institute.

Langan is a cofounder of the Mega Foundation, a nonprofit organization which aims to nurture the gifted by providing an alternative to orthodox academia, thereby encouraging intellectual discourse among intelligent people regardless of academic credentials and affiliations.

Langan is also a fellow of the International Society for Complexity, Information and Design, an intelligent design society founded by Jonathan Wells .
