Christopher George Stephens (born 8 January 1948) is a former cricketer who played first-class cricket in South Africa from 1968 to 1978.

His most successful season was his first, when he played for Western Province in the B Section of the Currie Cup in 1968–69. In his second first-class match he made 153 in three hours in an innings victory over North Eastern Transvaal,[1] and later that season he made 165 in another innings victory, over Transvaal B.[2]

When Western Province returned to the A Section of the Currie Cup in 1969–70 he continued his good form, scoring 755 runs in the next two seasons at an average of 50.33.[3] His form declined after that. He moved to Transvaal in 1972–73, and spent most of the rest of his career in the B Section of the Currie Cup with Transvaal B.
