Gill Fowler (née Robinson) was a fictional character in the popular BBC soap opera EastEnders. She was played by Susanna Dawson from 1991 to 1992.

She was the first wife of Mark Fowler. Gill met Mark in Newcastle during 1989 and they lived together until 1990 when Gill tested positive for HIV and moved to London. Mark discovered that he was HIV positive as well and returned to Walford.

The following year, Gill was diagnosed as having AIDS and visited Mark to ask if he had been tested for HIV. At first Mark denied that he had the virus but later admitted to her that he was HIV positive. They were never certain which of them had contracted the virus first.

They soon rekindled their relationship and Gill married Mark on 23 June 1992, but died the following day.
