Gordon Blaine McTavish (1925 – February 21, 2019) was a Canadian curler and judge. He was a 1965 World Men's silver medallist.
Unlike his other teammates McTavish was not a 1965 Brier winner,[2] as he replaced Ron Braunstein at second position, who was a medical student at the time and had to miss the World championships that year.[3]
In the years 1960–1961 he was the president of the Granite Curling Club in Winnipeg.[4]
Gordon McTavish served as a provincial court judge in Manitoba from 1971 to 1999.[5] He was married to Milly Johnson and had two children. In addition to curling, he was involved in horse racing as an owner and judge. He graduated from Manitoba Law School and was called to the bar in 1961. He worked for the law firm Keith and Westbury before entering private practice. In 1965 he was appointed as justice of the peace for Fort Garry.[6]
