Chris Warner is a fictional character on the New Zealand soap opera Shortland Street. He is portrayed by Michael Galvin. He is the only original character to still be on the show.

Chris is infamous for the number of relationships he has had. His marriage has gone down the drain after his wife, Toni, discovered he had recently an affair with Rachel McKenna and later discovered that also had a relationship with Justine Jones. After learning of Chris's deception, Toni, along with their son Harry, Chris's half-brother Guy and Guy's daughter Tuesday went to Australia. Since then Toni has applied for permanent custody of Harry. After this time Chris has been injured and has made attempts Chris to get Harry back. In recent times a couple of women have been eyeing him up - Detective Lara Wade (investigating the serial murders) and his PA Libby Jeffries.

On June 12, 2008 Sarah arrived home to discover Toni asleep, arouses her then realised that she was severely dehydrated, and with Mu's help, rushed her to the E.D. Toni's close call stirred Chris's protective instincts. When Toni's test results came back, it was apparent her remaining kidney was irreparably damaged. This news floored Toni that she would need dialysis for the rest of her life. Chris vowed to do everything he could to care for her, and insisted that she move back home. A reluctant but grateful Toni accepted, much to the delight of Harry his Mummy was coming home. Due to an unexpected reaction to the dialysis, Toni's blood pressure dropped. Harry watched on in horror as Sarah, TK, Alice and Scotty fought to save Toni's life. Chris arrived too late, and it's out on his dreadful shock as he struggled to realise that Toni was dead.
