List of Christian hard rock artists

List of notable hard rock and heavy metal Contemporary Christian Music artists.

The Encyclopedia of Contemporary Christian Music (2004) defines CCM as "music that appeals to self-identified fans of contemporary Christian music on account of a perceived connection to what they regard as Christianity". Based on this definition, this list includes artists that work in the Christian music industry as well as artists in the general market.

Note: Because classifying music by genre can be arbitrary, these groupings are generalized and many artists appear on multiple lists.
