Sir Christopher Colin Dean (born 27 July 1958) is a British ice dancer. Along with his long-term skating partner, Jayne Torvill, he is considered one of the greatest ice dancers of all time.[2]

The pair won a gold at the 1984 Winter Olympics and won bronze at the 1994 Winter Olympics. They are also four-time world and European champions, and seven-time British champions in ice-skating.
