Gordon Brewster (b. 26 September 1889, d. Sutton, County Dublin, 16 June 1946) was an editorial cartoonist for the Irish Independent group of newspapers. He also contributed illustrations to Our Boys in the 1910s-30s.

He was educated at the Dublin Metropolitan School of Art. His father, W. T. Brewster, was general manager of the Irish Independent, and Gordon joined the paper as a staff artist in 1906. He drew cartoons mainly on money matters for the daily paper, and had a regular cartoon called "This, That and the Other" for the Sunday Independent.
