Chris Davidson (09 December 1976 – 24 September 2022) was an Australian professional surfer. Davidson grew up in North Narrabeen on the Northern Beaches of Sydney.

Davidson's early career faltered due to injuries, family problems and drugs. In the late 2000s, he turned his career around and won several tournaments.

Davidson competed on the Men's Championship Tour in 2010 and 2011. His best result was third behind Kelly Slater at the 2010 Rip Curl Pro Portugal; he was ranked 14th overall on the 2010 world tour. Professional surfer Chris Davidson in Imbituba, Brazil - July 2009. Photo by Ithaka Darin Pappas
