Chris Weller (born July 12, 1944) is a former University of Maryland, College Park women's basketball coach who led the Lady Terps for 27 seasons from 1975 until 2002.
Weller attended the University of Maryland in the 1960s, graduating in 1966. During her time as a student, she participated in basketball, swimming, and lacrosse. She was a four-year varsity letterwinner in basketball. After graduation, Weller taught and coached at John F. Kennedy High School in Silver Spring, Maryland. In 1973, she returned to the University of Maryland to earn her master's degree, and at the same time became an assistant under her predecessor, Dottie McKnight. In 1975, while Weller was still an assistant, the team won their second state championship.
Weller became the Terps' head coach in 1975, and served as the University of Maryland’s first Assistant Athletic Director for Women from 1975 until 1980. During her tenure, the Terps' record was 499-286 (.636). Her teams attained many notable achievements, including eight ACC championships, two NCAA appearances, and one AIAW Final Four appearance. In 1978, Weller led the Terps in winning the first ever women's basketball ACC tournament championship. Many of Weller's players have gone on to experience personal success as well. Her teams produced five Olympians, three Kodak All-Americans, 28 athletes who have participated on national teams, and several players who were active in professional basketball. In 2002, Weller retired as head coach, and was replaced by the current women's basketball coach, Brenda Frese.
