Christopher Columbus Nash (July 1, 1838 – June 29, 1922) was a Louisiana merchant and Democratic sheriff.[1] In 1873, Nash led a company of white militiamen in the Colfax Massacre to take the courthouse in Colfax, from armed African-Americans.[2] Three white men were killed; the number of African-Americans killed is estimated to have been between 60 and 150.[2][3]

Nash participated in the formation of the White League,[4] a white supremacist organization that claimed to defend a "hereditary civilization and Christianity menaced by a stupid Africanization".[5] He was later buried in Natchitoches, Louisiana.[6]
