Chris Henry (born May 17, 1983) is a National Football League wide receiver for the Cincinnati Bengals.

Born to Carolyn Lee and David Henry, Henry attended Belle Chasse High School in Louisiana where he was named New Orleans Small Schools Offensive Player of the Year during his senior year and also excelled in basketball and track.

Henry enrolled at West Virginia University in 2002, spending the season as a redshirt. In 2003 he earned Big East Conference Rookie of the Year and All-Big East second-team honors for catching 41 passes and gaining 1,006 yards and 10 touchdowns, becoming the second player in school history to record over 1,000 receiving yards in one season.

In 2004 he started seven games and caught 52 passes for 872 yards with 12 touchdowns. In the NFL Draft he was drafted in the third round by the Bengals.

In his rookie season with the Bengals in 2005, he amassed 31 receptions for 422 yards and 6 touchdowns. In the Bengal's first playoff game against the Pittsburgh Steelers, he had an early reception for 66 yards, but both Henry and Bengals' quarterback Carson Palmer were injured on the Bengal's first possession. The Bengals lost 17-31. They were not injured on the same play which was reported incorrectly after the game. They were injured on the same series.

Since his college days at West Virginia University, Henry has been a problematic receiver. During his senior season with the Mountaineers, he was ejected from a game at Rutgers due to multiple unsportmanlike conduct penalties and was benched during the season finale at Pittsburgh. Henry still frequently lands in trouble; on December 15, 2005 he was pulled over in Northern Kentucky for speeding and marijuana was found in his shoes. He was also driving without a valid driver's license, and without auto insurance. On January 30, 2006, he was arrested in Orlando for multiple gun charges including concealment and aggravated assault with a firearm. He was reported to have been wearing his Number 15 Bengals jersey at the time of his arrest.
