Christopher P. Roller (born October 8, 1996) is an American professional baseball outfielder for the Milwaukee Brewers of Major League Baseball.

Roller attended Lake Travis High School in Austin, Texas.[1] He did not receive any offers from NCAA Division I universities to play college baseball, so he enrolled at McLennan Community College.[2] The Los Angeles Dodgers selected Roller in the 30th round, with the 910th overall selection, of the 2017 MLB draft[3] and he signed with the Dodgers.[4]

The Cleveland Guardians selected Roller from the Dodgers in the minor league phase of the 2020 Rule 5 draft.[5] The Brewers acquired Roller from the Guardians for cash considerations on August 31, 2023.[6] They added Roller to their 40-man roster after the 2023 season.
