Sam Gibson (born 27 May 1986) is a professional Australian rules footballer who plays the North Melbourne Football Club in the Australian Football League (AFL). He was recruited by the club in the 2012 Rookie Draft, with pick #63. Gibson made his debut in Round 12, 2012, against Gold Coast at Carrara Stadium.[1]

At the end of the 2012 season Gibson signed a two-year deal with North Melbourne[2] and was promoted to the senior list.
