Chris Kelly (c. 1890 - 19 August 1929) was an American jazz trumpeter born in Plaquemines Parish, Louisiana on Deer Range Plantation, perhaps best-known for his early contributions on the New Orleans jazz scene. Throughout the 1920s he was a regular collaborater with clarinettist George Lewis. No photographs or recordings have survived of Kelly's, though his status is one of legend to any New Orleans jazz musician.
