Gardner Edward Dickinson, Jr. (September 14, 1927 – April 19, 1998) was an American professional golfer.

He played college golf at Louisiana State, where he and teammate Jay Hebert led the Tigers to the national title in 1947.

In team Ryder Cup play, he never lost a match with partner Arnold Palmer (5–0).

He authored the book Let 'er Rip — a lengthy, bitey rant in which he opines on everything from golf officials and his fellow players to topical issues such as how young people dress.
