Gregory Paul Inglis (born 15 January 1987), also known by the nickname of "G.I.", is a retired Indigenous Australian professional rugby league footballer, who regularly played as a centre, fullback, five-eighth and wing.

From 2011 to 2019, Inglis played in the NRL for the South Sydney Rabbitohs, including their 2014 premiership win.[4] A Queensland State of Origin and Australian international representative outside back, he previously played for the Melbourne Storm, with whom he won two grand finals, a Clive Churchill Medal and the Golden Boot Award. Inglis was a versatile back, having played in several positions during his career. He originally played wing or centre for the Storm, occasionally filling in at fullback when injuries or players demanded.

In 2007, he moved to and played at five-eighth until early 2009 before he switched to centre when Brett Finch arrived at the club, where he played for the remainder of his time there until the end of 2010.

Inglis' representative matches for Queensland and Australia have been mainly as a centre, fullback or winger. In November 2009, Inglis won the Golden Boot Award as the world's best player – presented to him by Rugby League World magazine, becoming the third consecutive Storm player to win it, after Cameron Smith (2007) and Billy Slater (2008). In 2018, Inglis was given the captaincy of the Queensland Maroons for the series against the New South Wales Blues (2018). At the end of the 2019 season, he announced his retirement, but in May 2020 signed with the Warrington Wolves for the 2021 English Super League season. After three matches, a hamstring injury ended his tenure with that club.
