Gavin Wilkinson (born 5 November 1973) is a former New Zealand footballer who served as general manager and President of Soccer for the Portland Timbers from 2009 to 2022. Prior to this position, Wilkinson was manager of Portland Timbers in the United Soccer League before their promotion to Major League Soccer beginning with the 2011 season. As a player, he was known as a strong leader and defender. Wilkinson was general manager and president of soccer for the Portland Thorns FC from its inception in 2013 until 2022. He was mentioned in the USSF Yates Report and NWSL Covington Report which documented allegations that Thorn's coach Paul Riley had engaged in sexual misconduct. Neither report recommended sanctions for Wilkinson, who was cleared of wrongdoing by an internal investigation and report conducted by DLA Piper, which found that Wilkinson was not involved with the events beyond terminating Paul Riley. He was hired by Sporting Kansas City in January 2024 to serve as the franchise's sporting director, but released shortly after backlash from their fanbase.
