Ian Gordon (born 11 February 1933) is a former Australian rules footballer who played with St Kilda in the Victorian Football League (VFL).

A half back flanker, Gordon started his career playing for Golden Point in the Ballarat Football League.[1] He joined St Kilda in 1956 but didn't debut until the 1957 VFL season, when he appeared in St Kilda's round two loss to Footscray at Western Oval.[2] It would be his only senior game for St Kilda.[2]

Gordon then played with Port Melbourne in 1958.[3] He returned to Golden Point in 1959 and won that year's Henderson Medal.
