Chris Thomsen (born c. 1970) is an American football coach. He currently serves as head coach at Abilene Christian University, where he holds a 22–12 record overall after three seasons.
Thomsen is a 1993 ACU graduate and a former Wildcats tight end. Following his graduation, he remained at ACU, first as a graduate assistant and then working his way up to offensive line coach, recruiting coordinator, offensive coordinator, and, finally, assistant head coach. In 1998, the Wildcats finished 18th in thenation in passing under the direction of Thomsen, who was the offensive coordinator.
In 1999 Thomsen left ACU to go into private business, but eventually returned to coaching as he became offensive coordinator at Wichita Falls High School in 2001. With Thomsen calling the plays, the Coyotes won back-to-back district titles and led the district in scoring both seasons (34 points per game in 2001 and 42 ppg in 2002). In 2002 they set the school's single-season record for most points in a season, and the quarterback set the school's single-season record for touchdown passes.
Following a two year stint as offensive line coach at the University of Central Arkansas, Thomsen returned to his alma mater, succeeding Gary Gaines as head coach. In 2006, he led the Wildcats to an 8–3 record and the program's first berth in the NCAA Division II playoffs. He was named the Lone Star Conference South Division Coach of the Year.
