Andrew Barry Casson Gaze, AM (born 24 July 1965) is an Australian former professional basketball player who played 22 seasons in the National Basketball League (NBL) with the Melbourne Tigers.
He has been described as one of the greatest players Australia has ever produced.
Gaze played every season for the Tigers between 1984 and 2005, winning the league's MVP award seven times and winning the scoring title 14 times.
He also guided the Tigers to two NBL championships, in 1993 and 1997, and was named an All-NBL first team member every year between 1986 and 2000, a feat matched by no other player in NBL history. Gaze led the senior Australian national team, the Boomers, to five Summer Olympic Games – including as the flag bearer at the opening ceremony of the 2000 Sydney Olympics, and he was also the Australian Team Captain.
He was inducted into the Australian Basketball Hall of Fame in 2004, and the Sport Australia Hall of Fame in 2005, after becoming a member of the Order of Australia in 2002.
In 2013, he joined his father, Lindsay, in the FIBA Hall of Fame, to become just the third Australian inductee.
Two Australian basketball awards have been named in Gaze's honour: the NBL MVP award is named the Andrew Gaze Trophy, and the Australian International Player of the Year award is named the Gaze Medal.
