Boris Gregorka (2 August 1906 – 19 March 2001) was a Slovenian gymnast, competing for Yugoslavia. He won a bronze medal at the 1928 Summer Olympics. After retiring from competitive career, he was the coach of a double Olympic gold medallist Miroslav Cerar.
Gregorka was born in Brežice. At the age of seven, his parents introduced him to the Sokol athletics movement in Ljubljana, where he later achieved several successes. Gregorka was rather tall for a gymnast, 181 cm. This made him best-suited for pommel horse, which was also his best discipline. With his Sokol team, Gregorka was the team winner in all five national competitions for "The Sword of King Alexander" award.
Gregorka competed at two Olympics. He was a member of the Yugoslavian delegation at the 1928 Summer Olympics in Amsterdam; he won a bronze medal with the men's all-around team, together with Edvard Antosiewicz, Dragutin Ciotti, Stane Derganc, Anton Malej, Janez Porenta, Jože Primožič, and Leon Štukelj. In addition, he competed individually in all the men's disciplines. He finished 21st in the individual all-around, 37th on the horse vault, 34th on the parallel bars, 38th on the horizontal bar, 37th on the rings, and 41st on the pommel horse. Yugoslavia did not send a gymnastic team to the 1932 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles but Gregorka again participated at the 1936 Summer Olympics in Berlin. There, he finished 78th in the individual all-around, 6th in the team all-around, 90th in the floor exercise, 50th on the horse vault, 86th on the parallel bars, 68th on the horizontal bar, 80th on the rings, and 62nd on the pommel horse.
