Chris Connelly is a Scottish musician and author who became famous for his industrial music work of the late 1980s and early 1990s. He has since established himself as an alternative singer-songwriter.

Connelly began his music career in 1980 with the formation of Finitribe. Through subsequent years he fronted or was heavily involved with numerous notable industrial, dance, and new wave acts. In 2008, Connelly published a memoir of his early years in the music industry, Concrete, Bulletproof, Invisible, and Fried: My Life As A Revolting Cock (ISBN 0946719950).

Also worked with KMFDM, Damage Manual and Murder Inc.
