Edward Christopher Rees, known as Chris Rees, was a Welsh nationalist politician. Rees grew up in Swansea and joined Plaid Cymru at an early age. In 1951, he refused to do National Service, on the grounds that he was Welsh, and was sentenced to a year in prison. While imprisoned again later, he stood for the party in Gower at the 1955 general election, taking just over 10% of the vote. He later stood at the 1963 Swansea East by-election, and again in the seat in 1964 and 1966, then in Merthyr Ty
