Tina Gordon (born March 14, 1969 in Andrews, North Carolina) is a former NASCAR driver and spokesperson for the Sticks 'N' Stuff furniture chain. She is related to neither NASCAR driver Jeff Gordon nor Robby Gordon. After being released from her ride at Jay Robinson Racing in 2005 she retired from racing.

Gordon competed in barrel racing, rodeos, and horse shows. Gordon began racing cars in her husband Gary's short track in 1995-1996 at the Green Valley Speedway. She won all six events that she entered. They bought a hobby stock car and competed at Thunder Valley Speedway during 1997. In her rookie season, she finished tenth in points with 11 top-ten finished in 18 races. She sold her insurance agency and began racing full-time in 1998, first at Green Valley then at Birmingham International Raceway.

She moved to the NASCAR All-Pro Series in 1999; she finished 20th in touring truck series' points.

Gordon debuted in ARCA on October 20, 2001 at the Food World 300 held at the Talladega Superspeedway driving the No. 22 Sticks 'N' Stuff Furniture Ford. She qualified 5th and finished 10th, just behind future NASCAR journeyman Casey Mears.

In 2002 Gordon competed in four ARCA races, two driving the renumbered No. 66 Sticks 'N' Stuff Ford and two driving the No. 66 3M Post-it Note Ford. Driving the Sticks 'N' Stuff Ford she finished 26th in the Discount Auto Parts 300 at Daytona International Speedway and 12th later that year back at the Food World 300 at Talladega. In the 3M Post-it Note Ford she finished eighth in the Pork, The Other White Meat 400 at the Atlanta Motor Speedway and 35th in the EasyCare Vehicle Services 100 at Lowe's Motor Speedway in Charlotte NC. Gordon crashed out of the EasyCare Vehicle Services 100 and suffered leg and foot injuries causing her not to race or practice until September of that year.

Gordon made her Busch Series debut in September 2001 at Darlington Raceway. She drove the locally based No. 96 Colby Furniture Chevrolet into the field with a 42nd starting position. However, without full sponsorship, the team decided to start and park, finishing last (43rd) after only competing one lap.
