Chris Holroyd (born 24 October 1986, Nantwich, Cheshire) is an English professional football player who currently plays as a striker for Chester City.

Starting out in the Crewe Alexandra academy, Holroyd was a mainstay in the highly rated youth set-up. However, he moved from Crewe after he was denied a professional contract.

After moving to Chester City he spent some time in the youth and reserve teams, and scored a goal against his former club in the Cheshire cup. Impressing in Chester's youth team - scoring 21 goals in 28 starts and one substitute appearance in the Football League Youth Alliance - he signed his first professional contract in 2006. In the 2006-07 season which followed, he made a total of 25 appearances in the Chester first-team, seven of which were starts.

Holroyd scored his first goal for Chester in a competitive match on October 9, 2007, in a 4-2 Johnstone's Paint Trophy defeat at Carlisle United. His first Football League goal followed later in the month when Chester drew 2-2 with Wycombe Wanderers.
