Christopher Sanders is a potter who was born in Melbourne, Australia in 1952. He trained with his father, Tom Sanders, from 1971 to 1974, and then with Ian Sprague at Mungeribar Pottery from 1976 to 1978. In 1979, he went on a study tour of the United States, Canada, and England.

Sanders established his own studio in Clifton Hill, Melbourne in 1981, and has been working as a production potter ever since. He is known for his use of porcellanous stoneware, and his glazes are often inspired by the work of Chinese and Japanese potters. His work is characterized by its simple forms and elegant glazes.

In the 1990s, Sanders' work was exhibited in a number of solo and group exhibitions, including the Australian Ceramics Triennial in 1993 and 1997. He also received a number of awards, including the John Longstaff Memorial Award in 1991.
