Dr. Liz Gordon (born 8 September 1955) is a former New Zealand politician. She was an MP from 1996 to 2002, representing the Alliance.

Gordon was originally a member of the Labour Party, having joined in 1982. She served on its executive in 1988, but resigned from the party in April 1989 to become a founding member of the NewLabour Party. She was first elected to Parliament in the 1996 elections as a list MP for the Alliance, of which NewLabour was a component party, and was re-elected in the 1999 elections. When the Alliance collapsed, Gordon sided with the faction led by Laila Harré and Matt McCarten, and remained with the Alliance when Jim Anderton left to form a breakaway party. In the 2002 elections, she was ranked fourth on the party list, but the Alliance did not win any seats.
