Craig William Perks (born 6 January 1967) is a professional golfer from New Zealand who played on the PGA Tour.

Perks was born in Palmerston North. He played college golf at University of Oklahoma and University of Southwestern Louisiana in the United States. He turned professional in 1993 and played on the second tier Nike Tour for several seasons. He became a member of the PGA Tour after a tie for 35th in the 1999 Qualifying School earned him his tour card for the following season.

In 2002 he won The Players Championship, one of the most prestigious tournaments on the PGA Tour, and he was the 2002 New Zealand Sportsman of the Year. It remains his only win on the PGA Tour, and after making only one cut on the PGA Tour during 2006 and 2007, he announced his retirement in November 2007.^[1]
