Chris P. Waterson (born 26 March 1961) is a former Australian rules footballer who played with Essendon and the Brisbane Bears in the Victorian Football League (VFL) during the 1980s.

A utility, Waterson was a member of 1983 Essendon reserves premiership winning side.^[2]

He was never able to cement a spot in the Essendon seniors and his nine games in 1985 were the most he would play in a single season.^[3]

In 31 games at Essendon he played in 24 wins but the former Nullawil player wouldn't have the same team success when he was traded to the Brisbane Bears.^[3] Being part of a weaker side did however mean he was selected more regularly and he played 18 games in 1987, including Brisbane's first ever VFL match.^[3]

The following year he played another 17 games and also averaged 17 disposals for the year.^[3]
