Kyle Benjamin Gibson (born October 23, 1987) is an American professional baseball pitcher for the St. Louis Cardinals of Major League Baseball (MLB). He has previously played in MLB for the Minnesota Twins, Texas Rangers, Philadelphia Phillies, and Baltimore Orioles. The Twins selected Gibson in the first round, 22nd overall, of the 2009 MLB Draft, and he made his MLB debut in 2013.

Gibson was born in Greenfield, Indiana, to Harold and Sharon Gibson. He has a sister named Holly.

Between his freshman and sophomore year of high school, Gibson transferred from Cathedral High School in Indianapolis to Greenfield-Central High School; as a result, the Indiana High School Athletic Association (IHSAA) ruled that he could not play for Greenfield-Central's high school baseball team for one season.

During his junior year, he was 7–2 and led the Cougars to a sectional championship and to the regional final. In his senior year, he was 8–6 with a 0.98 ERA and 140 strikeouts. He led Greenfield to the Elite Eight by pitching all of his team's tournament games. He was named the Hancock County Player of the Year after his senior year. He was also named to the Indianapolis Star All-East team in both his junior and senior years. After his senior year, he was named All-East Player of the Year and made the Indiana All-Star Team.

Gibson married Elizabeth Straatmann on November 27, 2010. The couple have four children together, with the youngest born in December 2022. Gibson identifies as a Christian, and grew up attending a Southern Baptist church in Indiana.
