Christopher John Foreman (born August 8, 1956), nicknamed Chrissy Boy, is an English guitarist, best known as a member of a second wave ska band Madness.

He started Madness with Mike Barson and Lee Thompson in 1976. After Madness disbanded in 1986 he formed a new band The Madness with Thompson, Suggs and Chas Smash but it wasn't successful and broke up after one album, also titled The Madness. Then he, alongside Lee Thompson, created another group Crunch! with Lee on vocals. Foreman reunited with all seven original Madness members in 1992 but in 2005 announced that he was leaving the band.

On Thursday 30th November 2006 it was confirmed that Chris Foreman was returning to play on Madness' forthcoming UK Christmas tour.
