Christopher Cooper Ewbank (10 March 1845 – 9 July 1933) was an English cricketer. Ewbank was a right-handed batsman who fielded occasionally as a wicket-keeper. He was born at Cambridge, Cambridgeshire.

Ewbank made his first-class debut for the Marylebone Cricket Club against Sussex at the Royal Brunswick Ground, Brighton.[1] In the Marylebone Cricket Club's first-innings, he was dismissed for a single run by James Lillywhite, while in their second-innings he was dismissed for 31 runs by Richard Fillery.[2] The following season, he made two first-class appearances for Sussex, against the Marylebone Cricket Club at the Royal Brunswick Ground, and Surrey at The Oval.[1] Twelve years later in 1879, he made a final first-class appearance for Sussex against the Marylebone Cricket Club at Lord's.[1] In three first-class matches for the county, he scored 63 runs at an average of 10.50, with a high score of 23.[3]

He was the vicar of Langford, Bedfordshire, for 63 years from 1870 and died there on 9 July 1933.[4] His brother, George, also played first-class cricket.
