Christopher Richard Cornes (born 20 December 1986) is an English football manager and former player who is the manager of Northern Premier League Division One Midlands club Worcester City.

Cornes played as a forward. A former Wolverhampton Wanderers trainee, he enjoyed a successful loan spell to Port Vale in 2005, having signed a professional contract at Wolves the previous year. He tested positive for cocaine in February 2006 and received a six-month ban from the game before his contract was cancelled in September of that year. He then joined Worcester City before moving on to Telford United the following year. In 2008, he joined Stourport Swifts via Bromsgrove Rovers. The next year, he was back at Worcester and Stourport Swifts, also playing on loan for Evesham United before signing with Malvern Town via Redditch United in summer 2010. He was imprisoned on drug dealing charges in 2015.

He co-managed Worcester Raiders to the West Midlands (Regional) League Division One title at the end of the 2018–19 season. He left the club in October 2021 and was appointed Bewdley Town manager in January 2022 before taking charge of Worcester City ten months later.
