Gary John Gilmour (born June 26, 1951, Waratah, New South Wales) is a former Australian cricketer who played in 15 Tests and 5 ODIs from 1973 to 1977.

Playing against England in the semi-final of the 1975 World Cup, Gilmour recorded outstanding bowling figures of 6-14 from 12 overs. This was the first time that a bowler had taken six wickets in an ODI, and remained the best ODI bowling performance until Winston Davis claimed 7-51 in the 1983 competition. [1]
