Gordon R. Denlinger is a former Republican member of the Pennsylvania House of Representatives (2003–2015). In December 2017, he entered the 2018 race for Lieutenant Governor of Pennsylvania.

Denlinger represented the 99th District (within Lancaster County) of the Pennsylvania House for nearly 12 full years after winning a special election on March 18, 2003 to fill the remainder of Leroy Zimmerman's term.

Denlinger was a member of the House Agriculture and Rural Affairs, Appropriations, Finance and Tourism Committees. He also served as the Republican Chair of the Subcommittee on Fiscal Policy for the House Appropriations Committee, Vice-Chair of the Finance Committee, and Co-Chair of the Jobs Creation Working Group under the Republican Policy Committee.

In addition to his legislative committee assignments, Representative Denlinger served as founding chairman of the Values Action Team, a coalition of like-minded legislators working to advance traditional family values in Pennsylvania's State Capitol.

In 2014, Denlinger sought his party's nomination for the Pennsylvania Senate instead of running for re-election in the House, but lost the primary in the 36th District to Ryan Aument, who went on to win that seat in the general election. Fellow Republican David H. Zimmerman won Denlinger's former seat in the 99th district. In 2016, Denlinger was named by the Republican Party of Pennsylvania as one of three delegates to the Republican National Convention from the state's 16th congressional district.
