Christopher Raymond Jack (born 5 September 1978 in Christchurch) is a New Zealand rugby union player. He is 2.02 m tall and weighs 112 kg (6' 7½", 247 lb), and plays at lock for the Tasman Makos in the Air New Zealand Cup, the Crusaders in Super 14 (formerly Super 12), and internationally for the All Blacks.

His test debut for the All Blacks was against Argentina on 23 June 2001 in Christchurch. With his size and athleticism, he has since established himself as a regular in the All Blacks side, and arguably one of the top locks in the world today.

It was announced on the 7 June 2006 that Jack had signed a 2 year contract with the newly formed Tasman Rugby Union.

Achievements: 2002 New Zealand Rugby Player of the Year
