Chris Weale (born February 9, 1982 in Yeovil [1][2]) is an English football goalkeeper currently playing for Bristol City. He had previously played for Yeovil Town.

Weale made his debut in the 2000-2001 Season and played at Huish Park for six seasons, until a cruciate knee ligament finished his 2005-2006 season. During this time, he became Yeovil's most important goalkeeper. During his time at Yeovil he also underwent a trial at West Ham United where he appeared for their reserve team.

His contract expired at the end of that season, and Weale joined Bristol City under the Bosman ruling. He was joined by former team mates Phil Jevons, Liam Fontaine and Lee Johnson and former manager Gary Johnson.

He made his debut on the February 10, 2007, against Huddersfield Town after Adriano Basso was sent off, and played in the FA Cup replay between City and Middlesbrough and saved a penalty from Yakubu, but City lost the penalty shootout 5-4.

On August 8, he joined Hereford United on a month's loan but was recalled from his loan spell on 13 August after an injury to city's first choice goalkeeper Adriano Basso.
