Charles "Chip" Jett (born Scottsdale, Arizona) is an American professional poker player from Las Vegas, Nevada.

Jett has been known as "Chip" ever since he left the hospital when he was born. The nickname was suggested by a nurse to Jett's parents.

Jett began working as a poker dealer in an Indian casino, but turned into a professional player when he realised he was making more money as a player.

Jett finished 2nd to Howard "The Professor" Lederer in the World Poker Tour (WPT) PartyPoker.com Million II cruise event in March 2003. Later in the same year he made 2 World Series of Poker (WSOP) final tables, and another WPT final table in the Legends of Poker event won by Mel "Silver Fox" Judah.

Jett also had a 3rd place finish in the 2005 $5,000 seven card stud event.

He is married to fellow poker professional Karina Jett. In August 2005 they both made the same final table, at the London Open event in Old Billingsgate Market. They have one daughter.

Jett has also written articles for Card Player magazine.

As of 2005, his total live tournament winnings exceed $1,500,000.
