Kiefer Bauer is a fictional character on the ABC daytime drama, General Hospital, played by Christian Alexander. He was the first boyfriend of a newly SORASed Kristina Davis in 2009.

Since his debut, Kiefer proves to be abusive to Kristina. In June 2009, Kiefer gets into a fight with Kristina's 17-year old brother Michael Corinthos III, who had recently got out of a coma. Kiefer constantly harasses Michael, leading to the point where the two fight at the Port Charles Country Club. In July 2009, he flirts with another senior while dating Kristina. That same night, Kiefer helps Kristina cover her tracks when she runs her step mother Claudia Zacchara Corinthos off the road, who later suffers a miscarriage.

Kiefer voices his disapproval of Kristina's father Sonny Corinthos, and comforts Kristina on various occasions when she is upset with him. Kiefer becomes jealous of Kristina's friendship with Ethan Lovett, which turns into a crush. After Kristina ditches Kiefer for Ethan, Kiefer beats Kristina up. To protect him from Sonny's wrath, Kristina tells everyone that Ethan was the one who abused her. Sonny's lieutenant and best friend, Jason Morgan, realizes that Kristina might be lying and convinces Detectives Dante Falconeri and Lucky Spencer to investigate further.

Kiefer worries the truth will come out and asks Kristina to reinstate charges against Ethan, but she refuses. Out of rage, Kiefer beats her up again, but runs into her mother Alexis Davis as he runs out of the house. While driving to the hospital, a distraught Alexis hits Kiefer with her car and does not tell anyone. Kristina's sisters Molly Lansing and Sam McCall find Kiefer's body and he dies shortly after being admitted to General Hospital. Alexis hides her guilt for a while, but eventually confesses. Meanwhile, Kristina is questioned by Dante and finally identifies Kiefer as her attacker on both occasions, giving Ethan a clean slate.

Kiefer appears one last time on June 2. Kristina has a dream of Kiefer being next to her bed, telling her to get up so they can go to the beach together. Kristina refuses, and Kiefer quickly becomes violent and slaps her right before Kristina wakes up.
