Christopher Ross Gunter (born 21 July 1989) is a Welsh former professional footballer who played as a defender.
An attacking full back, he is capable of playing on both flanks but usually plays on his preferred right side.

He joined Cardiff City's youth system and was signed by Premier League club Tottenham Hotspur for £4 million in January 2008. Rarely used at Tottenham, he returned to the Championship with Nottingham Forest, initially on loan, before joining Reading in 2012.

Gunter has been a Welsh international since under-17 level and holds the record as the second youngest debutant for the under-21 team. He made his full international debut in 2007. He was part of the Wales squad that reached the semi-finals at UEFA Euro 2016. In 2017 he was named Welsh Footballer of the Year. On 20 November 2018 Gunter surpassed the record of 92 caps held by Neville Southall, making him the most capped player for Wales.
