Bert Gordon is an Australian former rugby league footballer who played in the 1980s.

After representing N.S.W. Country Firsts in 1986, Bert Gordon was offered a two-year contract with St George Dragons. He played two seasons with the club between 1987 and 1988,[1] and is best remembered for an amazing intercept try that he scored in the final of the 1988 Panasonic Cup midweek competition that helped to give St George Dragons a hard-fought victory. He retired from first grade rugby league at the end of the 1988 NSWRL season.[2] Bert Gordon finished his rugby league career at Cowra, New South Wales where he led the local rugby league team Cowra Magpies to a premiership victory in 1995.[3]
