Chris McKenna (born 29 October 1974) is an Australian former professional rugby league footballer who played as a second-row forward and centre in the 1990s and 2000s.

During the 1994 NSWRL season, McKenna played from the interchange bench for defending premiers Brisbane when they hosted British champions Wigan for the 1994 World Club Challenge.

At the end of that year, he joined the Leeds Rhinos from NRL side the Cronulla Sharks after a rumoured falling out with then coach Chris Anderson, and was the only 2002 Test player to move to Super League.

In 2004 McKenna played 23 games for the Rhinos and scored 9 tries including 2 in the memorable 40–12 win over Bradford at Headingley, which also earned him the man of the match accolade.

McKenna played for the Leeds Rhinos at second-row forward in their 2004 Super League Grand Final victory against the Bradford Bulls.
