Christopher Robert Richard (born June 7, 1974) is an American former Major League Baseball outfielder and first baseman.

After appearing in 50 games for Baltimore in 2002, Richard was traded to the Colorado Rockies on March 21, 2003, for outfielder Jack Cust.

Initially a first baseman, Richard was converted to an outfielder with Jeff Conine being the Orioles' mainstay at first base, and later Todd Helton being the Rockies starter at first.

He was called up by the Rays on September 7, 2009, after Carlos Peña suffered two broken fingers on a CC Sabathia pitch, and had one plate appearance in the second game of a day/night doubleheader against the New York Yankees.
