Chris Wolstenholme (sometimes credited as Christopher Wolstenholme) (born Christopher Anthony Wolstenholme on December 2, 1978 in Rotherham, England) is the bass player, and occasional singer/guitar player for the rock band Muse. He also plays keyboards for the band in the song "Blackout".

He grew up in Rotherham before moving to Teignmouth, Devon, in 1989. There were two bands in the Teignmouth community. Chris played in one, Matthew Bellamy and Dominic Howard played in the other. After two years of drop outs in Matt's and Dom's band, Chris who played drums in his band transferred to their band. Chris was used to playing drums and had never played a bass in his life, with a 'great spirit of sacrifice' started to play bass guitar instead in the band.
