Gregory Anderson (born 14 May 1966) is a former Australian rules footballer who played for the Port Adelaide Football Club in the South Australian National Football League (SANFL) and the Essendon Football Club and Adelaide Football Club in the Australian Football League (AFL).

Easily recognizable on the field due to his powerful build, blonde mullet and penetrating left-foot kicking style, Anderson was one of the finest wingmen of his era, as evidenced by his numerous personal honours and induction into the South Australian Football Hall of Fame in 2019.
