Christopher John "Chris" Baker BA LLB (Hons), Notary Public (born 9 July 1958), Australian politician, is a member of the Liberal Party, and was a Member of the Western Australian Legislative Assembly (1996–2001) and City of Joondalup councillor (2001–2005).

Baker was born in Brisbane and moved to Western Australia in 1989. Prior to entering parliament as the member for the newly created seat of Joondalup, he was a barrister, solicitor and proprietor of a law firm. In parliament, he was involved in a number of committees, including the Public Accounts Committee. He lost the seat at the February 2001 state election to his Labor rival, Tony O'Gorman.

On 5 May 2001, Baker was elected as councillor for the Marina ward of Joondalup with an overwhelming majority of votes.[1]. He was one of a group of councillors who supported the controversial CEO, Denis Smith, and was criticised by the inquiry into the City of Joondalup by lawyer Greg McIntyre.
