Claude Frederick Owen Lister (13 October 1911 — 19 April 1988) was a British tennis player and coach.

An Essex county player, Lister featured regularly at the Wimbledon Championships through the 1930s to 1950s.

[2][3] In 1958 he began a long stint as non-playing captain of the South Africa Davis Cup team.

[4] He was captain of South Africa's only Davis Cup title winning side in 1974, secured after India refused to compete in the final due to the apartheid policy.

This made South Africa the first Davis Cup champions outside the four grand slam hosting nations.
