Gordon Dickinson (1901–1991) was an Australian tennis player. While at school he showed promise at cricket and was a versatile left handed tennis player. Dickinson won the Burnie men's singles event in 1923 and 1924. Dickinson first entered the Australasian championships in 1924, when he lost in the quarter-finals to Garton Hone. In 1927, Dickinson lost in round two of the Australian championships to Gordon Lum. In 1927 Dickinson sustained an eye injury from a piece of wood, an injury that required surgical treatment.
