Gregory Charles Dyer (born March 16, 1959, Parramatta, New South Wales) is a former New South Wales and Australian wicketkeeper. Dyer played in 6 Tests and 23 ODIs from 1986 to 1988, including playing in the victorious 1987 World Cup Final.

Dyer replaced Tim Zoehrer for only a few Tests, but his international career was cut short by the emergence of Ian Healy and was dropped from the team in 1988. He retired from first-class cricket shortly after.

Dyer controversially "caught" New Zealand batsman Andrew Jones during a Test match. Replays clearly showed Dyer scooping the ball up from the ground before he appealed.

He shares an Australian One Day International 7th-wicket partnership record with Steve Waugh.
