Gordon Dunn (Gordon Glover Dunn; April 16, 1912 – July 26, 1964) was an American athlete who competed mainly in the discus throw.
He competed for the United States in the 1936 Summer Olympics held in Berlin, Germany in the discus throw where he won the silver medal. Later in life, Dunn became mayor of Fresno, California (1949-57) and qualified for the nickname "No-Fun Dunn" because of his zest in leading raids on bordellos and gambling dens. He loved going to fires and police happenings, and had both red lights and a siren on his personal vehicle.
