Christopher McLean "Chris" Skinner (born June 4, 1972 in Little Rock ) is an American mathematician who deals with algebraic number theory.

Skinner studied at the University of Michigan at Ann Arbor with a bachelor's degree in 1993 and received his doctorate in 1997 from Princeton University with Andrew Wiles (Deformations of reducible Galois representations). He became Associate Professor in 2000 and Professor at the University of Michigan in 2004 and has been Professor at Princeton since 2006.

He was at the Institute for Advanced Study several times , first from 1997 to 2000. 2001/02 he was a Sloan Research Fellow and 2001 to 2006 Packard Fellow . He is a fellow of the American Mathematical Society . He is co-editor of the Journal of Number Theory.

In the Iwasawa theory , he and Eric Urban announced a proof of the main conjecture for GL (2) in 2002, which was published as a preprint in 2010 and appeared in 2014.

In 2006 he was invited speaker at the International Congress of Mathematicians with Urban (Vanishing of L-functions and ranks of Selmer groups).
