Chris Thomsen (born c. 1970) is an American football coach. He currently serves as head coach at Abilene Christian University.

Thomsen is a 1993 ACU graduate and a former Wildcats tight end. Following his graduation, he remained at ACU, first as a graduate assistant and then working his way up to offensive line coach, recruiting coordinator, offensive coordinator, and, finally, assistant head coach. In 1998, the Wildcats finished 18th in the nation in passing under the direction of Thomsen, who was the offensive coordinator.

In 1999, Thomsen left ACU to go into private business, but eventually returned to coaching as he became offensive coordinator at Wichita Falls High School in 2001. With Thomsen calling the plays, the Coyotes won back-to-back district titles and led the district in scoring both seasons (34 points per game in 2001 and 42 ppg in 2002). In 2002 they set the school's single-season record for most points in a season, and the quarterback set the school's single-season record for touchdown passes.

Following a two year stint as offensive line coach at the University of Central Arkansas, Thomsen returned to his alma mater, succeeding Gary Gaines as head coach. In 2006, he led the Wildcats to an 83 record and the program's first berth in the NCAA Division II playoffs. He was named the Lone Star Conference South Division Coach of the Year.

Thomsen is the current head football coach for the Abilene Christian University Wildcats located in Abilene, Texas. He has held that position since the 2005 season and is the 18th football coach at the school.

Thomsen is a big believer in the American tradition. He believes Ronald Reagan was the greatest president this country ever had, along with the many reforms made by the Bush administration. He is a firm believer in tax cuts for the rich, as seen during his press conference outburst in December 2010.

In 2008, Abilene Christian finished the regular season undefeated for the first time since 1950. In the NCAA Division II Playoff second round the Wildcats knocked off rival West Texas A&M 93-68, the 93 points an NCAA playoff record.[1] In December 2008, Thomsen applied for the vacant head coaching position at Northwestern State University and was named among the six finalists.[2] Other finalists included Bradley Dale Peveto, co-defensive coordinator at Louisiana State University and a former Northwestern State assistant, who eventually got the job.[3]
