Maurice Peter Gibb (7 February 1914 – 6 August 2000) was an Australian rules footballer who played for Melbourne in the Victorian Football League (VFL) during the 1930s and early 1940s.[1]

Gibb originally tried out for Carlton but after being rejected was picked up by Melbourne after winning the 1933 Gippsland Football League's best and fairest award, the Trood Medal.[2][3]

He was a forward and had his most prolific season in 1935 when he topped Melbourne's goalkicking with 59 goals in a tally which included two bags of nine. In 1940 and 1941 Gibb played in back to back premiership teams.
