Christopher Kunitz (born September 26, 1979) is a Canadian professional ice hockey left winger and alternate captain for the Pittsburgh Penguins of the National Hockey League (NHL). He has previously played for the Atlanta Thrashers and Anaheim Ducks, the latter with whom he won a Stanley Cup in 2007. He won his second and third Stanley Cup with the Pittsburgh Penguins in 2009 and 2016. He won a gold medal with Team Canada at the 2014 Winter Olympics.

Kunitz played Junior A in the Saskatchewan Junior Hockey League (SJHL) with the Melville Millionaires for two seasons before joining the NCAA college ranks with the Ferris State Bulldogs in 1999–00. After a 79-point campaign in his senior year, he was a finalist for the Hobey Baker Award in 2003 (given to Peter Sejna), the same year Ferris State made it to the Division I Regional Finals, just missing out on the Frozen Four. He was part of the first Ferris State team to make a NCAA Tournament appearance (now joined by the 2011–2012, 2013–14, 2015-16 squads).
