Christopher Eric Wilfred Silverwood (born Pontefract March 5, 1975) is an English cricketer.

Silverwood started his career at Yorkshire, playing for them for 13 years as a right-handed batsman and a right-arm medium/fast-pace bowler. With the club he won the County Championship in 2001 and the C&G Trophy in 2002. He signed for Middlesex for the 2006 season after playing only 6 games for Yorkshire in the 2005 season.

He is also renowned for being absolutely teetotal.
