Greg Oliphant (born 22 June 1950) is an Australian former rugby league footballer, a state and national representative half back who made one Kangaroo tour. Oliphant played in the New South Wales Rugby League for the two seasons of 1978-1979 with the Balmain Tigers. Prior to and after those years he played in the Brisbane Rugby League with Wests, Valleys and Redcliffe.

He made his international debut off the reserve bench in the first Test of the 1978 domestic series against New Zealand and then started in the 2nd Test. He was selected for the 1978 Kangaroo tour but played only four tour matches with his rival Tommy Raudonikis the selectors' preferred Test halfback. Oliphant and Raudonikis enjoyed a great club and state rivalry and regularly competed for national selection. Oliphant played in the inaugural State of Origin match for the Queensland Maroons. He later coached in the BRL premiership with Norths.
