Christopher John Tallentire (born 11 October 1963) is an Australian politician. He has been a Labor Party member of the Western Australian Legislative Assembly since the 2008 state election, representing Gosnells until 2017 and Thornlie thereafter. Prior to the election, Tallentire was the Director of the Conservation Council of Western Australia from March 2004 to April 2008.[1] He holds a Bachelor of Agribusiness Marketing.[2]

In September 2024, Tallentire raised concerns regarding amendments to legislation relating to the Environmental Protection Authority.[3][4]

In February 2024, Tallentire announced he will not be re-contesting his seat at the 2025 state election.[5] As such, the CEO of Wungening Aboriginal Corporation, Daniel Morrison-Bird, was endorsed by Tallentire and the Labor Party as its candidate for the seat of Thornlie in the 2025 election.[6]

Tallentire is a member of the United Workers Union and the Labor Left faction.[7]
