Chris Connelly is a Scottish musician and author who became famous for his industrial music work of the late 1980s and early 1990s. He has since established himself as an alternative singer-songwriter.

Connelly began his music career in 1980 with the formation of Finitribe. Through subsequent years he fronted or was heavily involved with numerous notable industrial, dance, and new wave acts.
