Gary Rowett (born 6 March 1974 in Bromsgrove) is an English former professional footballer who played as a defender.

He started his career at Cambridge United, a product of their youth system before earning a move to the Premiership with Everton in March 1994 for £200,000. After failing to break into the first team, Rowett went on loan to Blackpool before being sold to Derby County, with whom he enjoyed a good three-year spell.

Rowett also played for Birmingham City, Leicester City and Charlton Athletic. A persistent knee injury put an end to his career in the Football League, though he did play for Burton Albion before retiring.

Rowett is a Birmingham City fan regularly reviewing the live kick by kick action of Blues' fortunes with fellow Blue Tom Ross on BRMB.

It was announced on June 26th that Gary would be the new match day summariser covering matches involving Derby County for BBC Radio Derby during the 2008/09 season.
