Trevor Lloyd Sinclair (born 2 March 1973) is an English football coach, former professional footballer and pundit.

As a player, he was a winger who notably played in the Premier League for Queens Park Rangers, West Ham United and Manchester City. He also played in the Football League for Blackpool and Cardiff City where he retired in 2008. He has since come out of retirement on two occasions and has featured for non-league sides Lancaster City in 2014 and Squires Gate in 2018.

He was capped twelve times by England, four of which came in the 2002 FIFA World Cup. He won the 1997 Match of the Day Goal of the Season after scoring a bicycle kick in an FA Cup tie against Barnsley. Following his retirement, Sinclair largely worked as a pundit on both television and radio, most notably for BBC Sport on Football Focus and Final Score. During the 2014–15 season, he was named assistant manager of Lancaster City, who he briefly came out of retirement with. In 2018 he played a single game for Squires Gate.
