Christopher Ndarathi Mūrūngarū (born August 19, 1954, Nyeri, Kenya) is a former Kenyan politician, a former Member of Parliament for Kieni Constituency in Nyeri District and a former Minister of Transport.

Mūrūngarū was named Minister for Internal Security in 2003 after the National Rainbow Coalition(NARC) government took power from Kenya African National Union(KANU) upon their victory in the 2002 Kenya general elections . He was later transferred to the Ministry of Transport in a cabinet reshuffle following revelation of the Anglo-Leasing scandal, allegations he didn't expressly deny. When President Mwai Kibaki reconstituted the cabinet following a humiliating defeat in the November 21, 2005 Kenyan constitutional referendum, he was dropped from the cabinet. He was a close ally of Kenyan President Mwai Kibaki.
