Gary Coatsworth (born 7 October 1968) is an English former footballer who made 60 appearances in the Football League playing as a defender for Barnsley, Darlington, and Leicester City. He scored the goal that confirmed Darlington as winners of the 1989–90 Football Conference title, and played in Leicester City's 1994 Football League First Division play-off Final victory over Derby County. Injury forced his retirement from professional football in 1995 at the age of 26, though he was able to continue for some years in non-league football.
