Chris Price (born 30 March 1960 in Hereford) is a former English footballer who played in the right-back position and was noted for his attacking runs.

He began his career at home town club Hereford United where he quickly became the first choice right-back. In ten seasons at Hereford he amassed over 330 appearances, at the time a club record. Notably he scored the equalising goal against Arsenal in the 1984-85 FA Cup Third Round. At the end of the 1985-86 season he was sold to Blackburn Rovers for a mere £25,000, stepping up two divisions.

His first spell at Ewood Park lasted two seasons and he was a regular in the side. He was sold on to Aston Villa for £150,000 and played First Division football for the first time in his career. After four seasons as a regular at Villa Park he was sold back to Blackburn for £100,000. However his second spell was less successful and he made only 19 league appearances in two seasons, although he did net 3 Premiership goals in his second season.

He moved on to Portsmouth where a bizarre injury ended his professional career when he dropped a tool box on his foot. He then played for non-league Cinderford Town, scoring in the FA Cup against Bromsgrove before becoming manager of the club in 1997.
