Christopher 'Chris' Charles Benham (born 24 March 1983) is an English cricketer. Benham is a right-handed batsman who bowls right-arm off break. He was born at Frimley, Surrey. He attended Yateley School across the county border at Yateley in Hampshire. Making his debut at the professional level for the Hampshire Cricket Board in 2001, he spent nine years playing for Hampshire, before being released by the county after the 2010 season. He is now playing club cricket for Wimbledon CC in the Surrey Championship Premier League whilst working as a financial planner at St James's Place Wealth Management.

Benham was first associated with Hampshire at the age of ten, becoming a product of the county's academy system. It was in the 2001 Cheltenham & Gloucester Trophy that he made his debut in List A cricket for the Hampshire Cricket Board against the Kent Cricket Board. During the match he was dismissed for a duck by Andy Tutt. Three years later, while attending Loughborough University, Benham made his first-class debut for Loughborough UCCE against Somerset. In 2004, he made three further first-class appearances for the Loughborough UCCE, as well as making his Hampshire debut in the County Championship against Derbyshire. On debut he made his maiden half century, scoring 74 runs.
