Christopher Gregg Narveson (born December 20, 1981) is an American professional baseball pitcher in the Cleveland Indians organization. He previously played in MLB for the St. Louis Cardinals and Milwaukee Brewers and Miami Marlins and in Nippon Professional Baseball (NPB) for the Tokyo Yakult Swallows.

Narveson was originally drafted out of T.C. Roberson High School by the St. Louis Cardinals in the 2nd round of the 2000 MLB Draft. He remained in the Cardinals' farm system through 2004, including appearing in the 2003 All-Star Futures Game for the USA Team.

Narveson was traded by the Cardinals to the Colorado Rockies on August 11, 2004, along with Luis Martinez, to complete an early trade for Larry Walker. He made four starts in AA for the Tulsa Drillers.

On March 30, 2005, Narveson was traded by the Rockies to the Boston Red Sox, with Charles Johnson, for Byung-Hyun Kim. He made 21 appearances (20 starts) for the AAA Pawtucket Red Sox, with an ERA of 4.77.

He made 15 starts in 2006 for the AAA Memphis Redbirds with a 2.81 ERA and was called up to the big leagues for the first time when rosters expanded in September. He made his Major League debut by working 2 innings of relief on September 8, 2006 against the Arizona Diamondbacks, allowing two earned runs.
