Christopher Joseph Isaak (* 26. Juni 1956 in Stockton, Kalifornien) ist ein US-amerikanischer Sänger und Filmschauspieler wolgadeutscher Abstammung.

1981 gründete Chris Isaak mit James Calvin Wilsey (Gitarre), Kenney Dale Johnson (Trommel), und Rowland Salley (Bass) die Band Silvertone. 1985 brachte er sein erstes Solo-Album, Silvertone, heraus. Sein Deutschland-Debüt hatte er am 28. Oktober 1985 im Onkel Pö in Hamburg. 1989 entstand der Song Wicked Game. Zunächst nicht als Single erhältlich, verwendete David Lynch ihn in einer Schlüsselszene seines Films Wild at Heart. Zwei Jahre nach Veröffentlichung (1991) schoss das Lied in die US-Top-Ten.

Mit dem Latino-TexMex-Song Blue Hotel hatte Isaak im selben Jahr noch einmal einen Hit. Der Sänger trat auch als Schauspieler in Erscheinung, unter anderem in Filmen wie Little Buddha, Das Schweigen der Lämmer und Die Mafiosi-Braut. In den Vereinigten Staaten war er von 2001 bis März 2004 in seiner eigenen Fernsehshow zu sehen. Die Serie zeigte das aufregende Alltagsleben eines Rock-Musikers.
