Chris Langford (born 2 January 1963) is a former professional Australian rules footballer who is currently an administrator.

Langford is best known for his 303 game career for the Hawthorn Football Club between 1983 and 1997. He captained the club in the 1994 season and earned All-Australian selection. It was his second All-Australian, having been included in the 1987 side. A defender, Langford won four premierships with Hawthorn, in 1986, 1988, 1989 and 1991. He holds a place on the interchange bench in Hawthorn's official 'Team of the Century'.

Late in his career, Langford moved to Sydney where he worked as an accountant, commuting to Melbourne to training and play with his club.

After his career, he moved into game administration and was appointed to the AFL Commission in 1999.

Chris' son Will was recruited to Hawthorn in the 2011 Rookie draft, and was upgraded to the Hawthorn senior list in June 2013.
