Herb Fitzgibbon (born July 14, 1942, in Garden City, New York) was a nationally ranked tennis player in the 1960s and 1970s.
Fitzgibbon played four years of high school tennis for Garden City High School and never lost a match. He played collegiate tennis at Princeton University and was a gold and bronze medalist at the Olympic Games in Mexico City in 1968 when tennis was a demonstration sport.
He won the singles title at the tournament in Cincinnati, Ohio in 1964 and was a two-time singles runner-up (1965 and 1963) there as well. He also reached the Cincinnati doubles final with Butch Newman in 1965. That year, he also won the Long Island Championships and the Eastern Clay Court title.
He also was a platform tennis player, winning national doubles titles in 1974 with John Beck and in 1977 and 1978 with Hank Irvine.
Fitzgibbon authored the book The Complete Racquet Sports Player.
