Chris Irwin (born June 27, 1942 in Wandsworth, London) is a British former Formula One driver. He participated in 10 grands prix, debuting on July 16, 1966. He scored 2 championship points.
His career was ended prematurely by an accident when driving a Ford sports car during practice for the 1968 1000km Nürburgring endurance race. He suffered severe head injuries but eventually recovered. However, it prevented him from racing again.
Chris Irwin is still alive and reasonably well, but his whereabouts are largely unknown as he stays out of the public eye and away from motor racing events.
