Devaris "Dee" Gordon (born April 22, 1988) is an American professional baseball second baseman for the Miami Marlins of Major League Baseball (MLB). He previously played for the Los Angeles Dodgers. With the Dodgers, Gordon was primarily a shortstop. In 2015, in his first season with the Marlins, Gordon hit .333 for a total of 205 hits and stole 58 bases. He led the NL in all three categories and became the first NL player to lead the league in both batting average and stolen bases since fellow second baseman Jackie Robinson in 1949.

On April 29, 2016, Major League Baseball suspended Gordon for 80 games due to performance-enhancing drugs use. He tested positive for exogenous testosterone and clostebol.

Devaris Gordon was born in Windermere, Florida, the son of former Major League pitcher Tom Gordon and Devona Denise Strange. His parents were high-school sweethearts but did not marry; Tom had relationships with three other women as well and had a total of five children, all in Florida. Dee was his second-oldest. When Dee was six years old, his mother Devona was shot to death by an ex-boyfriend. Tom sued for custody of Dee and raised him with the help of his own mother, Dee's grandmother.

Dee's half-brother, Nick Gordon, was drafted by the Minnesota Twins in the first round of the 2014 draft.

Despite being Tom Gordon's son, the younger Gordon did not take up baseball until his high school years, having previously dedicated himself to basketball. He received a scholarship offer to play college basketball for the Louisville Cardinals.
