Christopher Joseph Ford (born January 11, 1949 in Atlantic City, New Jersey, USA) is a former professional basketball player and head coach. A 6-foot-5 (1.96 m) guard, he played high school basketball at Holy Spirit High School in Absecon, New Jersey,

before continuing on to Villanova University.

He played 10 seasons (1972-1982) in the NBA as a member of the Detroit Pistons and Boston Celtics. Ford is credited with scoring the NBA's first three-point shot for the Boston Celtics on October 12, 1979 in a game against the Houston Rockets at Boston Garden. After winning a championship with the Boston Celtics, he ended his playing career in 1982 with 7,314 total points.

Ford later served as a head coach for the Celtics (1990-95), the Milwaukee Bucks (1996-98), the Los Angeles Clippers (1998-2000), and the Philadelphia 76ers (2003-04). He also served as an assistant with the Celtics and Sixers.

In addition to coaching at the professional level, Ford spent two seasons (2001-2003) as head basketball coach at Brandeis University, a Division III school in Waltham, Mass.

Ford, who coached the Eastern All-Stars in the 1991 NBA All-Star game, currently serves as a scout for the 76ers.
