Craig Disley (born 24 August 1981 in Worksop) is an English professional footballer, who plays in midfield for Bristol Rovers. He was signed from his only other professional club, Mansfield Town, in 2004.

The midfielder has impressed since joining Rovers, and was a huge part of the promotion campaign. His good form has continued into the 2007/08 season, and he has already scored eight times, including last minute winners against Oldham and at Millwall.

Rovers fans sing a very rude song about him, which compares him favourably with former Rovers captain James Hunt (footballer). The song makes it clear that despite having red hair, Disley is a far superior player to Hunt, using the popular medium of rhyme.
