Gordon Lenear Wood (May 25, 1914 – December 17, 2003) was an American high school football coach in Texas.
He was a head football coach for forty-three seasons, winning or sharing twenty-five district championships and nine state championships. Wood mainly ran a variant of the single wing formation, called "Warren Woodson Wing T", named after the former Hardin–Simmons coach whom Wood admired.
Though it was primarily a running offense, Wood was ahead of his time because his teams could also pass effectively from it.
