Christopher Douglas (born c.1955) is a British actor and writer.

He is the voice of Ed Reardon in BBC Radio 4's long-running sitcom Ed Reardon's Week, which he co-writes with Andrew Nickolds. Ed Reardon's Week has completed fourteen series and was the winner of the Broadcasting Press Guild's "Best Radio Programme" award in 2005 and again in 2010. Douglas is also the voice and co-creator of the world's most disappointing cricketer Dave Podmore, a Radio 4 regular since 2017.

Other radio credits include a two-part adaptation of George Gissing's New Grub Street, two series of Mastering The Universe, co-written with Nick Newman and starring Dawn French. Also three series of Beauty Of Britain, co-written with Nicola Sanderson and starring Jocelyn Jee Esien.

Christopher Douglas writes and directs the improbably long-running career of uber-thesp Nicholas Craig (Nigel Planer) whose autobiography I, An Actor was first published in 1988, and who has continued to appear on TV and onstage ever since.
