Gemma Fay (born 9 December 1981) is a Scottish female international football goalkeeper and actress. She currently plays in Iceland for Stjarnan. Fay has made over 190 appearances for the Scotland national team, becoming their most capped player of all time.
Fay made her senior Scotland debut against Czech Republic in May 1998 and Fay won 23 Scotland caps before the age of 19. She praised the contribution of her national goalkeeping coach, Jim Gallacher.
In 2009, Fay took over the captain's armband from long-term skipper Julie Fleeting and then reached 100 caps against Canada at the Cyprus Cup in 2009. In December 2011 Fay and three Celtic women's team mates were approached about playing for Team GB at the 2012 Olympics.
Fay moved on to 141 appearances in May 2012, equalling the record held by Pauline Hamill, after playing in a 3–1 friendly win over Poland in Gdańsk. She set a new record of 142 appearances after playing in Scotland's next match, a 4–1 friendly defeat to Sweden at Stark's Park in Kirkcaldy.
Fay lost her place in the Glasgow City team in 2017 to Lee Alexander. In an effort to prolong her international career, Fay moved to Icelandic club Stjarnan in April 2017.
