Christopher Mark Kiwomya (b. 2 December 1969 in Huddersfield) is a former professional footballer.

He was at Ipswich Town as a trainee and played over 250 games, and was the club's top scorer in the 1991-92 season in which Ipswich were promoted from the old Second Division. In total he scored over 50 goals for the East Anglian club, working in partnership with Jason Dozzell.

He was sold to Arsenal in January 1995 for £1.25m, as one of George Graham's last signings for the club, along with John Hartson. He made his debut against Everton on January 14, 1995, but failed to make a lasting impression at Arsenal; although he scored three goals in 17 appearances in 1994-95, he did not play for the club again after that season, and spent 1996-97 on loan at Le Havre AC of France, making 7 appearances without scoring. He also spent time with Selangor FA in the Malaysian league.

He was released on a free transfer to QPR in August 1998, where he played for three seasons, scoring 30 times in almost 100 appearances before joining AaB Aalborg in Denmark in 2001, again on a free transfer. His contract was cancelled later that year after he failed to secure a first team place and he returned to England to trial for Grimsby Town and Sheffield United, but failed to secure a contract with either.
