Gordon C. W. McCracken (22 March 1898 – 27 January 1964) was an Australian rules footballer who played with Carlton in the Victorian Football League (VFL) during the 1920s.
McCracken, who contested nine finals from 1922 to 1924, was Fitzroy's ruckman in the 1922 premiership side. He was again a follower in the 1923 Grand Final but was off the ground injured for much of the encounter and Fitzroy lost by 17 points. In the same year, McCracken represented the VFL at interstate football. Before arriving at Fitzroy, he played for Essendon Association in the Victorian Football Association.
