Douglas Christopher Judge (born October 13, 1964 in Los Angeles, California) is an American actor of African and Cherokee Indian descent. He attended the University of Oregon on a football scholarship, and was an all Pacific Ten conference player.

One of his first roles was in a 1990 episode of MacGyver. Judge is best known for playing Teal'c in Stargate SG-1. He has also done voice acting for animated series and video games, including the voice of Magneto on X-Men: Evolution, the canceled Stargate SG-1: The Alliance, as well as writing several episodes of Stargate SG-1, most of which deal with crises for Teal'c. In the season 8 episode, "Avatar", Teal'c informs SG-1 that he plays Def Jam Vendetta, alluding to the fact that Chris Judge was a voice actor in that game.

He is the only original Stargate SG-1 cast members who has yet to appear in the spin-off series Stargate Atlantis; although, he will be appearing in Atlantis' fourth season (yet to be filmed). He has also appeared in more episodes of Stargate SG-1 than any other character, having appeared in every episode of the series except for the Season 8 episode "Prometheus Unbound".

Judge provided the voice of Zodak on the revived He-Man and the Masters of the Universe cartoon. The 2002 redesign of (the originally caucasian) Zodak as an individual of African descent could arguably have been intended to pay homage to Judge, but this is unlikely as the series was based on the revised toyline designed well before Judge's likley casting, and the specific physical resemblance to the actor is minimal.

His best friend is his Stargate SG-1 co-star Michael Shanks, who plays Daniel Jackson.

He is engaged to model and actress Gianna Patton. They welcomed their first child, Chloe Jolie, on February 7, 2005.

He has four children: Christopher, Cameron, Catrina and Chloe.
