Gary Locke (born 12 July 1954 in Park Royal) is a retired English footballer.
A right-back, Locke spent much of his career at Chelsea, making over 300 league and cup appearances for the West London side between 1972 and 1983. He was voted player of the year in the 1974-1975 season. He scored his first league goal away at Coventry on 24th August 1974.
He later moved to Crystal Palace, making another 101 league and cup appearances, before spending time in Sweden with Halmstads BK in 1986.
In 1987 Locke was brought to New Zealand by newly promoted national league club Napier City Rovers. He captained the team in 1988 and helped the club win the national league championship in 1989.
Locke was controversially left out of Napier's squad for the 1992 national league campaign so joined Waikato United, who finished runners-up in the competition and were beaten 3-1 by Miramar Rangers in the Chatham Cup final. The season was Locke's last, retiring aged 38.
Locke now lives with his wife in Napier, New Zealand.
