Jack de Gier (born August 6, 1968 in Schijndel, Noord-Brabant) is a Dutch football manager and former player, currently manager of Almere City.

He was nicknamed Il Butre (The Vulture), after legendary Spain striker Emilio Butragueño. De Gier means The Vulture in Dutch. He made his professional debut in the 1988/89 season for BVV Den Bosch.
