Gordon Gibson (born 1937) is a right of centre political columnist and author based in British Columbia and a former politician. He is the son of the late Gordon Gibson Sr, who was a prominent businessman and Liberal politician in mid 1950s BC.

After studying at the University of British Columbia, Harvard Business School and the London School of Economics, Gibson served as assistant to the federal Minister of Northern Affairs from 1963 to 1968 and was a special assistant to the Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau from 1968 to 1972 when he ran as a federal Liberal candidate for the Canadian House of Commons losing in the 1972 Canadian election to John Fraser by 3,000 votes.

Gibson was approached to lead the British Columbia Liberal Party three months prior to the 1975 provincial election when then-leader David Anderson declined to be renominated for the position after three Liberal MLAs defected to the Social Credit Party. Gibson had entered the Legislative Assembly of British Columbiaby winning a 1974 by-election and as he was the only Liberal MLA other than Anderson it fell on him to lead the party into the election. Gibson was party leader from 1975 to 1979 and won the party's only seat in the 1975 election. He resigned in 1979 to run again for a seat in the federal House of Commons but was defeated in both the 1979 and 1980 Canadian elections losing to Chuck Cook by less than 2,000 votes on both attempts.

He attempted to return to politics as a candidate in the 1993 provincial leadership convention coming in second to future BC Premier Gordon Campbell.

Gibson has been a senior fellow in Canadian Studies at the Fraser Institute since 1993 and has written several books on Canadian federalism and governance. Following the 2001 British Columbia election, Gibson was hired by the government to make recommendations on the structure and mandate of the Citizens' Assembly on Electoral Reform.
