Kevin Gilbride (born August 27, 1951 in New Haven, Connecticut) is an American football coach. Gilbride served as the San Diego Chargers head coach from 1997-1998. He went to Southern Connecticut State University, where he played both quarterback and tight end. He would later coach at his alma mater for five seasons starting in 1980 and compiled a 35-14-2 overall record. He is currently the offensive coordinator for the New York Giants, with whom he earned a Super Bowl ring. He was an assistant coach at American International College (AIC) in Springfield, Massachusetts.

Since 1990, Gilbride has served as an assistant with a number of NFL franchises, working as quarterbacks coach and offensive coordinator. Those franchises include the Houston Oilers (1990-1994), Jacksonville Jaguars (1995-1996), Pittsburgh Steelers (1999-2000), Buffalo Bills (2002-2003), and currently is the offensive coordinator with the New York Giants. From 1985 to 1986 he served as an assistant with the Ottawa Rough Riders of the Canadian Football League.

In over three decades as a coach, Gilbride's most memorable image may be a sideline incident while he was offensive coordinator for the Houston Oilers, which resulted in defensive coordinator Buddy Ryan punching Gilbride. Another memorable event occurred during the 1992-93 NFL season when Gilbride was hospitalized with a rare form of kidney cancer and injured quarterback Warren Moon stepped in as acting offensive coordinator for the Houston Oilers.
