Gerhardus Johannes Olivier (born 17 February 1993 in Ficksburg, South Africa) is a South African rugby union player, currently playing provincial rugby with the Free State Cheetahs and club rugby with UFS Shimlas. He regularly plays as a loose-forward, but can also play as a lock.
Olivier first represented Bloemfontein-based side Free State at high school level, playing as a lock for them at the Under-18 Craven Week competition held in Welkom in 2010, helping the Free State to a 42–21 victory over their Western Province counterparts in the main match of the competition. He again represented the Free State at the 2011 event held in Kimberley, where they were crowned unofficial champions for the second season in a row, this time beating the Golden Lions in the main match. He was also included in the Free State U19 squad, making three appearances for them in the 2011 Under-19 Provincial Championship.
After finishing high school, Olivier played as a loose forward rather than a lock; he was the starting eighth man in all twelve of the Free State U19's matches during the 2012 Under-19 Provincial Championship, scoring tries in their matches against SWD U19 and Leopards U19. In 2013, his only provincial action came in two appearances for the Free State U21 side during the 2013 Under-21 Provincial Championship, scoring one try in their match against the Border U21s.
