Gordon Phillip Windeyer (born 20 February 1954) is an Australian former track and field athlete who competed in the high jump.

[1] Using the Fosbury Flop method of high jumping,[2] Windeyer rose to national level as a young athlete and was a repeat winner of the Australian junior title from 1971 to 1972.

Windeyer caused an upset by beating Peckham – the two-time defending champion – and clearing a new games record height of 2.16 m (7 ft 1 in).

[4] Windeyer aimed to defend his high jump title at the 1978 Commonwealth Games and proved to be in good form that year after a national title win and a new personal best and Australian record-equalling clearance of 2.21 m (7 ft 3 in) immediately before the competition.

[5] At the event in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, Windeyer was one centimetre short of his previous games record, but this was not sufficient to reach the podium – Canadians, led by Claude Ferragne, took the top three positions and Windeyer missed out on a bronze medal on countback alone.
