Gary John Gilmour (26 June 1951 – 10 June 2014) was an Australian cricketer who played in 15 test matches and five One Day Internationals (ODIs) between 1973 and 1977. He was a part of the Australian squad which finished as runners-up at the 1975 Cricket World Cup.

At the peak of his career, Gilmour combined "talented hitting" with a "penetrative" left-arm swing bowling and slip catching.^[1] He earned comparisons to the Australian all-rounder Alan Davidson.^[1] He was called "Newcastle's greatest all-rounder and arguably its greatest cricketer".^[2]
