Chris Greenacre (born December 23, 1977 in Wakefield) is an English footballer who currently plays as a striker for Tranmere Rovers in Football League One.

After starting his career at Manchester City, Greenacre went on to play football for the likes of Cardiff City, Mansfield Town and Stoke City, before joining League One club Tranmere Rovers on a free transfer in the summer of 2005.

Under the management of Brian Little, Tranmere finished 18th in League One in the 2005/06 season, but Greenacre himself finished top scorer with 18 goals in 49 games for the club. This included a hat-trick against Yeovil Town on 28 December and two goals against Oldham Athletic in August, which made him a firm crowd favourite.

Greenacre was highly-rated by the majority of the Tranmere fans after his performances in 2005-06. He is often praised for his high work-rate. This reputation was furthered in 2006/07 under Ronnie Moore when Greenacre again finished top scorer, this time with a total of 19 goals, and signed a two-year extension to his contract at Prenton Park. A further 14 goals in all competitions during the 2007/08 season saw him again finish the season as the club's top scorer, despite a poor season, in which his levels of performances were much lower than that of his two previous seasons.
