Christian IV, Count Palatine of Zweibrücken-Birkenfeld (b. Bischweiler, September 6, 1722; d. Herschweiler-Pettersheim, November 5, 1775) was Duke of Zweibrücken from 1735 to 1775. He was the son of Christian III, Count Palatine of Zweibrücken and Caroline of Nassau-Saarbrücken.

In 1751 he married, morganatically, Maria Johanna Camasse (created Countess Forbach in 1757). They had six children, who were unable to succeed to their father's Duchy due to the morganatic nature of their parents' marriage :

  • Christian, Count of Forbach, Marquis of Deux-Ponts (1752-1817)
  • Philipp Guillaume, Count of Forbach, Viscount of Deux-Ponts (1754-1807)
  • Maria Anna Caroline (1756-1806)
  • Karl Ludwig, Baron of Zweybrücken (1759-63)
  • Elisabeth Auguste Friederike (1766-1836)
  • Julius August Maximilian, Baron of Zweybrücken (1771-73)
