Christopher John "Chris" Wilder (born 23 September 1967) is an English former professional footballer, and is the manager of League One club Sheffield United.

His extensive professional playing career saw spells at Sheffield United (twice), Rotherham United, Notts County, Bradford City, Brighton & Hove Albion and Halifax Town. He also had loan spells at five different clubs.

After retiring, he became a manager and was in charge of Alfeton Town, Halifax Town (their last manager before liquidation) and Oxford United before his appointment at Northampton Town.

He started his career as a trainee at Southampton and was released without making it into the first team. He moved on to Sheffield United in August 1986 and during his career he played for 11 clubs, including a long spell at Rotherham United before joining Halifax Town in 1999.

Wilder began his career in management at Alfreton Town. He took over at the club in late October 2001 and in the 27 weeks he was in charge won four trophies: the Northern Counties (East) League Premier Division, the League Cup, the President's Cup and the Derbyshire Senior Cup.

Wilder returned to Halifax Town as manager on 2 July 2002. He replaced caretaker manager Neil Redfearn, who had in turn replaced Alan Little (who left on 8 April after falling ill with appendicitis in March). Halifax had been relegated to the Conference at the end of the season.
