Vincent Clair Gair (February 25, 1902 - November 11, 1980) was an Australian politician who served as Premier of Queensland from 1952 until 1957 when, on April 24, 1957, nearly a year after leading the ALP to a state election victory, he was dismissed from his own party, for failing to act on a party directive. An election was called for August 3, and for the first time in 25 years, a Labor Government was out of office in Queensland. Not to return until 1987.
Gair later represented Queensland in the Australian Senate as a DLP Senator from 1965 to 1974 when he resigned to take up the post of Ambassador to Ireland.
