Christopher John Liddle (born 1 February 1984) is an English former cricketer and now cricket coach. As a player, he bowled left-arm seam and batted right-handed.

He started his career with Leicestershire, for whom he played seven first-class matches in the 2005 and 2006 seasons, but only played one limited overs match. In October 2006, Liddle signed with Sussex in October 2006.[1] He mainly represented Sussex in limited overs cricket, taking a career best 5/17 against Middlesex in the T20 competition.[2] In early 2013 he played for Dhaka Gladiators in the Bangladesh Premier League.[3]

He was released by Sussex at the end of the 2015 season, and signed for Gloucestershire.[4]

He announced his retirement from playing at the end of 2019, taking a role as bowling coach at Northamptonshire.[5] In 2023 he took a similar role at the ECB working with England women.[6]
