Gordon Anderson (16 September 1924 – 19 June 1965)[1] was an Australian rules footballer who played with Hawthorn in the Victorian Football League (VFL).

Anderson was a follower and forward, secured by Hawthorn from Blackburn.[2] He had served in the Royal Australian Air Force during World War II.[3]

He was Hawthorn's leading goal-kicker in the 1950 VFL season, with 21 goals, two clear from full-forward Albert Prior, who had played only seven games.[4][5]

Anderson left Hawthorn in 1952, to coach Surrey Hills.[6]
