Greg Rawlinson (born 14 August 1978 in Durban, South Africa) is a South African New Zealand rugby union footballer who made his test debut against Ireland in June 2006. He is the first South African All Black of the professional era and has been granted New Zealand citizenship. The only other South African born All Black, Andrew Mehrtens, was also born in Durban.

Rawlinson currently plays for the North Harbour Rugby Union in the Air New Zealand Cup, and like his North Harbour captain, Rua Tipoki, has previously played for Bay of Plenty in the National Provincial Championship (NPC), the predecessor to the Air New Zealand Cup.

In 2005 he was named the North Harbour Player of the Year after playing in all 12 of North Harbour’s matches that year.
