Chris Burgess (born 26 November 1995) is a professional Australian rules footballer who plays for the Adelaide Football Club in the Australian Football League (AFL), having previously played for the Gold Coast Suns. He was recruited from West Adelaide Football Club in the 2018 AFL draft as a pre-draft selection. Burgess won the Jim 'Frosty' Miller Medal as the leading goal kicker in the VFL for season 2022 and 2023.

One month after Gold Coast's 2023 VFL premiership win, Burgess was traded to Adelaide following his trade request. Burgess played his first game for Adelaide against his former club in round one, 2024.

Despite being contracted until the end of 2025, Burgess was delisted by Adelaide in October of 2024, with a commitment to redrafting him as a rookie. Alongside midfielder Harry Schoenberg, Burgess rejoined the club as a rookie in the 2025 rookie draft.
