Christopher H. Hutchinson (born December 17, 1969) is an American former college football player who was a defensive tackle and outside linebacker for the Michigan Wolverines football team of the University of Michigan from 1989 to 1992. He was selected as a first-team All-American in 1992.

A native of Houston, Texas, Hutchinson was born in 1969. He attended Cypress Creek High School in Harris County, Texas. His quickness and speed came as a result of the relentless torment at the hands of his older brothers Craig and Mark
