Chris Eves (born 11 December 1987) is a New Zealand rugby union player who currently plays as a prop for the Bay of Plenty Steamers in New Zealand's domestic Mitre 10 Cup and the Sunwolves in the international Super Rugby competition.

Born in Henderson, in the suburbs of Auckland, New Zealand, Eves was educated at Massey High School where he played first XV rugby for 3 years. During his high school years, he was part of school touring groups to Europe, Australia and South Africa as well as working his way through the youth structures of his local province, North Harbour.

Eves first played provincial rugby with his home province, North Harbour, during the 2008 Air New Zealand Cup. He made 2 appearances and scored 1 try but failed to build on his early breakthrough and soon found himself in the rugby wilderness without a contract with one of New Zealand's senior provinces. Next, his career took a rather untrodden path to Portugal where he would spend 2 seasons playing for Agronomia. He was on the verge of making Portugal's national squad, however, their failure to qualify for the 2011 Rugby World Cup made him rethink his options.

Eves returned to New Zealand in 2012 and began playing for Wests Roosters in Wellington's local club rugby competition. Local province, the Wellington Lions offered him a contract ahead of the 2013 ITM Cup, however, with his chances of getting regular game time slim, he opted to head north to Palmerston North and join the Manawatu Turbos on loan.

Eves immediately made a big impression with the Turbos, playing 10 times for them in what was a disappointing 2013 season which saw them finish 5th in the Championship. 2014 was much more positive, with the men from Palmerston North earning promotion to the Premiership for 2015 after a 32–24 win over Hawke's Bay in the final with Eves, now on a permanent contract with the Turbos, once more playing 10 times during the year.

Eves missed the Turbos entire Premiership campaign in 2015 with a hamstring injury sustained playing in the Super Rugby final with the Hurricanes, and they were once again a Championship side when he made his return in 2016. He featured in all 10 of their regular season games, starting 5 times and scoring 2 tries as they ended up in 5th place on the Championship log, just outside of the promotion playoff places.

Eves signed with North Harbour for the 2017 Mitre 10 Cup Season.

Eves signed with Bay of Plenty Steamers for the 2019 Mitre 10 Cup Season. Here, he helped them gain a promotion into the Mitre 10 Cup Premiership for the 2020 season
