Christopher John "Chris" Westwood (born 13 February 1977) is an English footballer who plays as a defender for Northern Premier League side Halesowen Town FC.
Westwood began his career at Wolverhampton Wanderers, where he scored once against Portsmouth.
Westwood moved to Reading in 1998 but. First team chances at both clubs were limited and in his one season with the Berkshire club he didn't make a senior league appearance.
Westood moved at the beginning of the 1999–2000 season to Hartlepool United. Westwood was named in the PFA Division Three team of the year for the 2002–03 season, as Hartlepool won promotion to Division Two. Over the course of six seasons at Victoria Park, Westwood made 294 appearances in all competitions, scoring nine goals. Westwood's final appearance for Hartlepool was the 2004–05 Football League One play-off final.

He left Hartlepool at the end of the 2004–05 season after rejecting the offer of a new contract, instead opting to join Walsall on 1 July 2005. Westwood helped Walsall to promotion in the 2006–07 season, and was named in the PFA League Two Team of the Year.
