Gary Rohan (born 7 June 1991) is a former Australian rules footballer who played for the Sydney Swans and Geelong Cats in the Australian Football League (AFL).

Rohan was drafted to Sydney with the sixth selection (just the Swans' second top-10 draft pick since the late 1990s) in the 2009 AFL Draft from the Geelong Falcons. Rohan made his AFL debut in round 7 of the 2010 season, against reigning premiers, Geelong, at Kardinia Park, where he had played much of his junior football with the Falcons. Rohan finished his debut season having played nine senior games for the Swans and kicking seven goals.

Much of Rohan's 2011 season was written off due to a serious hamstring injury but, when he returned to the senior side late in the year, he managed to have a profound impact on the side's performance. He was played as a near-permanent forward and performed well as he kicked goals and chased and tackled hard.

In Round 4 of the 2012 AFL season, Rohan suffered a horrific leg injury in the opening minutes of Sydney's 36-point win over North Melbourne. This injury ruled him out for the 2012 season.

Rohan played for the Swans in the 2014 AFL Grand Final and 2016 AFL Grand Final.

In 2017, Rohan missed the first four matches due to ongoing injury concerns. In just his second game for the year, against the Carlton Blues, he had a nasty fall and concussion and was out for two weeks. But his career took a good turn from there. Against the Richmond Football Club, he sealed the game with a right foot snap. But his biggest moment was in Round 14 against Essendon. With 24 seconds left, the Swans were five points down, and Rohan found himself in a one-on-one in the goalsquare. When his teammate Dane Rampe picked up the ball and banana-kicked it down his throat, Rohan stuck out his left hand and took the mark. He put it through after the siren to complete a 19-point comeback with 4+1⁄2 minutes to play. Against the Gold Coast Suns in Round 16, he had his best individual game, with 5 goals and 16 touches.

Following the 2018 season, Rohan was traded to Geelong. He played in his third grand final in 2020.

In Round 14 of the 2021 AFL season, Rohan kicked the winning goal after the siren to defeat the Western Bulldogs, thus becoming only the second player after Barry Hall to do so for two different AFL clubs.

In 2022, Rohan played in his fourth grand final and won his first premiership.

Rohan was delisted by Geelong at the end of the 2024 AFL season.
