Christopher Warwick Godfrey B*ano (born 11 September 1975 in East London, South Africa) is a South African-born cricketer. As a resident of Tasmania, and yet a British national, he qualified to play county cricket as an overseas player.

On his County Championship debut in 2001 for Derbyshire he hit 186 not out and 106 against Gloucestershire.

However, after finishing with a career-best average during the 2004 season, his form fell away in 2005 and he was released. He played a few Minor Counties matches for Cheshire in 2007.

His father Brian was a South African sports journalist who wrote several books of cricket history.
