Christopher Frederick James Kratt (born July 19, 1969) is an American biologist, educational nature show host and YouTuber. A grandson of musical-instrument manufacturer William Jacob "Bill" Kratt, he and his older brother Martin grew up in Warren Township, New Jersey, and together created children's television series Kratts' Creatures, Zoboomafoo, and Be the Creature (which aired on the National Geographic Channel and CBC), as well as Wild Kratts (which airs on PBS Kids and TVOKids). He holds a Bachelor of Arts in Biology from Carleton College. Chris co-hosts all of his educational childhood programs with his older brother Martin Kratt.

Kratt and his brother Martin attended Watchung Hills Regional High School. Both brothers were inducted into the school's hall of fame in 2013.
