Graeme Gellie (born 27 December 1954) is a former Australian rules footballer. He played for St Kilda as a rover, and won the club's best and fairest award in his first year, but an injury to his knee early in 1979 limited his career.

After Tony Jewell was sacked as St Kilda coach during the 1984 season, Gellie took over and coached for the next two years. When St Kilda won the wooden spoon in 1986, his contract was not continued. Gellie became an assistant coach to Malcolm Blight at Geelong. He also coached Queensland state junior teams. He currently lives in country Victoria.
