Christopher Peter Cusiter (born 13 June 1982) is a retired Scottish international rugby union player who played at scrum-half. He played for teams including Glasgow Warriors, Border Reivers and Perpignan before ending his career at Sale Sharks.
Cusiter made his first start for Scotland in the 2004 Six Nations match against Wales.
During 2005 and 2006 Cusiter suffered a series of injuries representing Scotland. In 2015 he sustained a knee injury against Australia and upon his starting return against Italy in the 2006 Six Nations suffered a pectoral injury. After making a substitute appearance against Romania in the 2006 Autumn tests he was given the all clear to start against the Pacific Islanders only to be stretchered off after 10 minutes.
Cusiter was named as joint-captain Captain along with Mike Blair for the Autumn internationals of 2009 and the 2010 Six Nations Championship.
Cusiter went on the 2005 British and Irish Lions tour to New Zealand making one appearance as a substitute.
While still at Watsonians, Cusiter was called into the Glasgow Warriors side in the 2001–02 season. At the end of the season he had a number of games warming the bench, before making his professional debut coming on in the 79th minute against Swansea RFC in the Welsh-Scottish League in Glasgow's last game of the season.
