Chris Perry (born 24 October 1958) is a former Australian rules footballer who played with Collingwood in the Victorian Football League (VFL).

Perry was a defender, often used as a reserve off the bench. He missed selection for the 1977 VFL Grand Final but was recalled for the Grand Final Replay to replace Doug Gott in the back pocket.[2] Gott was omitted because of a knee injury, which was the same reason that Perry had lost his place in the side in round 18.[3]

He left Collingwood to return to his original club, Stawell, in 1979. After a season he was lured back by Tom Hafey but more knee problems meant his comeback lasted just one year.

A "best and fairest" winner at Wodonga in 1983, Perry later coached Horsham United.[4]
