Gary Imlach (born 1960, at West Bridgford in Nottinghamshire) is a British author, journalist and broadcaster, specialising in sport. After first being known as a sports presenter on TV-am, Imlach has particularly become associated with non-mainstream sports, working for many years as the face of Channel 4's coverage of American Football. Imlach has covered the Tour de France since 1990, formerly on Channel 4, transferring to ITV in 2001 when the station bought the television rights to the cycle race.{{cite web|url=http://www.cyclingweekly.com/news/latest-news/the-big-interview-gary-imlach-88782|title=The Big Interview: Gary Imlach|work=Cycling Weekly|first=Lionel|last=Birnie|date=20 September 2007|access-date=9 December 2017}}

He has also hosted the late-night sports chat show Live and Dangerous, and currently presents ITV's coverage of the Tour de France as well as their Super Bowl coverage. He also does links between programmes on the British version of ESPN Classic. In September 2010, Imlach resumed presenting duties on Channel 4's coverage of American Football, but was replaced by Danny Kelly ahead of the 2011 season.{{cite news|url=http://www.nfluk.com/features/danny-kelly-joins-channel-4-1911.html|title=Danny Kelly joins Channel 4|first=Nick|last=Pike|date=1 September 2011|access-date=1 September 2011|work=NFL UK|publisher=NFL Enterprises LLC}}{{dead link|date=October 2017 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}
