Christian "Kris" Bouckenooghe (born 7 February 1977) is a retired New Zealand association football player of Belgian and Cook Island Māori descent. He played as a defender, mostly in the lower divisions of Belgian football with one season in the Belgian First Division.

He was born in the Cook Islands of a Cook Island Māori mother and a Belgian father, subsequently moving to New Zealand as a child, where he played his youth soccer and attended Tauranga Boys' College. He has played for New Zealand at age-group level, including a play-off series against the South African under-23 team to qualify for the 2000 Sydney Olympics, scoring in the NZ team's narrow 3-4 and 0-1 losses in that series. All of his early career was spent as a midfielder or striker, until converting to defence at K.S.V. Roeselare in Belgium. His first professional club was Rotherham in England, who signed him as a teenager on the recommendation of former New Zealand national coach and ex Rotherham player, Kevin Fallon. From there he signed for KSV Roeselare in the 1990s, his first of two periods with the club. He is the first New Zealander to play in the Belgian First Division.^{[citation needed]}
