Christopher John Cannizzaro (born May 3, 1938) was a catcher in Major League Baseball who played for the St. Louis Cardinals (1960–1961), New York Mets (1962–1965), Pittsburgh Pirates (1968), San Diego Padres (1969–1971, 1974), Chicago Cubs (1971) and Los Angeles Dodgers (1972–1973). He batted and threw right-handed.

He appeared in 59 games for the 1962 Mets expansion team, which ended up with a record of 40-120, which continues to be the most losses by any Major League Baseball team in a single season since the 19th Century.
