Eric de Courcy "Mike" Gibbons (20 October 1913 — 20 August 1962) was an Australian rugby union international.

Gibbons, a 165 cm scrum-half, won a first-grade premiership with Northern Suburbs in 1933, scoring a decisive try in the grand final. He featured in another premiership in 1935 and made his NSW representative debut that year against Queensland.
