Neville Patrick Chamberlain (born 22 January 1960) is an English former footballer. A forward, he scored 73 goals in 296 league games in a ten-year professional career in the Football League.
He started his career at Port Vale, signing professional forms in January 1978 to become the club's first black pro. He followed his brother Mark Chamberlain to Stoke City in September 1982 for a £40,000 fee. He was loaned out to Newport County and Plymouth Argyle before moving to Newport permanently in 1984. The next year he switched to Mansfield Town and helped the club to win promotion out of the Fourth Division in 1985–86. He spent the 1987–88 season with Doncaster Rovers before entering the non-League scene with Stafford Rangers, Worksop Town, Shepshed Charterhouse, Matlock Town, Leek Town and Rocester. He later worked in the management teams at Alsager Town and Hanley Town and also acted as his brother's agent.
