Christopher ("Chris") Pringle (born 26 January 1968) is a former New Zealand cricketer. A fast bowler who played 14 Tests and 64 One Day Internationals for New Zealand between 1990 and 1995.
Chris repesented the Auckland in the State Championship.
Pringle was in England in 1990 playing cricket in the Bradford League and had gone to watch a one day international at Headingley, Leeds between England and New Zealand. He found himself playing when three other NZ fast bowlers were injured or unwell.
He made his test debut versus Pakistan at Karachi in 1990/91 and in his third test took test best figures of 7-52. The match and the series was dogged by controversy as both teams were accused of ball tampering.
He appeared intermittently for the test side, gaining more success in the one day game. From his seemingly uncoordinated action he was good at bowling yorker length deliveries in the closing overs.
Pringle also played cricket in Holland.
An ankle injury ended his cricketing career.
