Christopher Sean Mays (born 11 May 1966) is an English former cricketer. Mays was a right-handed batsman who bowled right-arm off break. He was born at Brighton, Sussex.
Prior to appearing in first-class cricket, Mays played for England Young Cricketers, playing two Youth Test matches and a single Youth One Day International against West Indies Young Cricketers in 1985. Mays later made his first-class debut for Sussex against Glamorgan in the 1986 County Championship. He made seven further first-class appearances for the county in that season, the last of which came against Somerset. In what was his only season with his home county, Mays took 13 wickets in his eight first-class appearances, which came at an average of 54.30, with best figures of 3/77.

At the end of the 1988 season Mays qualified as a doctor of medicine and retired from county cricket to pursue a career in medicine.
