Chris Dalkin (born 3 March 1962) is a former Australian rules footballer who played with Collingwood in the Victorian Football League (VFL). He was also a cricketer and represented the Australia Under-19 cricket team.
Dalkin toured Pakistan with Under 19s in 1981 and played in three "Tests". A right-arm fast-medium bowler, Dalkin took 5/90 in Pakistan's first innings at Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore. His wickets included Saleem Malik and Rameez Raja. He started the series as a number 11 batsman, but after the left hander played a couple of impressive innings he was promoted to seven in the batting order at Hyderabad and scored a half-century.
Dalkin's football career began at Ararat, from where he came to Collingwood. Dalkin made 10 league appearances in the 1982 VFL season, five in 1983, none in 1984 and a further three in 1985. After leaving Collingwood he played briefly with South Australian National Football League (SANFL) club Port Adelaide.
