Walter Paul "Doc" Gautreau (July 26, 1901 – August 23, 1970) was an American professional baseball player, manager and scout.

The native of Cambridge, Massachusetts, was a second baseman during his playing days who stood a diminutive 5 feet 2 inches (1.57 m) tall[1] and weighed 129 pounds (59 kg).

Gautreau attended The College of the Holy Cross in Worcester, Massachusetts, and the Crusaders went 92-8-1 during his tenure as the team's second baseman.

He played his first year of professional baseball in 1925, making his debut in the Major Leagues that June as a member of the Philadelphia Athletics.

His tenure with the Braves was curtailed, however, when Boston obtained future Baseball Hall of Fame second baseman Rogers Hornsby for the 1928 campaign.
