Christopher Herd (born 4 April 1989) is an Australian former international footballer. Herd could be described as a utility player who was able to play in several positions, including central defence, full back and central midfield. He represented Australia at under-20 level and won the first of his senior caps in September 2014.
A graduate of the Aston Villa Academy, he was loaned from Aston Villa out to Port Vale and Wycombe Wanderers in 2008, before spending the 2009–10 campaign on loan at Lincoln City. He made his Premier League debut in November 2010 and became a regular first-team player in the 2011–12 season. He was largely absent from the first-team for the next two seasons. He was loaned out to Bolton Wanderers in September 2014 and then Wigan Athletic in January 2015. He signed with Chesterfield in September 2015 before signing a deal to join Australian side Perth Glory in April 2016; however, he decided to terminate the contract for family reasons and signed for Gillingham in October 2016. Following a spell with Western Sydney Wanderers, he signed with Thai club Buriram United in June 2018. He joined Indian club Chennaiyin in January 2019. In December 2019, he joined Bangladesh Premier League team Sheikh Russel and 12 months later signed for Malaysian club Terengganu FC.
