Hector Donald (or David) Gillespie (29 May 1901 – 12 October 1954) was a New Zealand cricketer who played first class cricket for Auckland and briefly for a pre-Test status New Zealand international side between 1920 and 1932 as a right-handed batsman.
He made 1,208 runs from his thirty matches at 23.23, including one century – 183 against Canterbury in January 1930. He also made six half-centuries, and took two wickets for 35.50 with his occasional bowling.
Educated at Auckland Grammar School, he was also an avid rugby player. He captained Eden Cricket Club in Auckland for some years; in 1924–25 he shared a 441-run opening partnership with Jackie Mills for Eden against University.
He went on to become a justice of the peace after a 38-year career in law.
