Otis Gatewood (1911-08-27 - 1999-09-16) was a well-known preacher and missionary in Churches of Christ. Gatewood worked with some of the earliest domestic and foreign missions efforts of Churches of Christ in the twentieth century. He was perhaps best known for his efforts in Europe; seeing thousands of Mormon missionaries return to America from Germany during World War II made him distressed that there were apparently no preachers of the Church of Christ working there, so after the war ended he went to West Germany and preached there for ten years.

Gatewood's book You Can Do Personal Work was for many years one of the best known books on personal evangelism in Churches of Christ.
