Gilbert Herman Brack (March 29, 1908 – January 20, 1960) was an American Major League Baseball outfielder for the Brooklyn Dodgers and Philadelphia Phillies from 1937 to 1939.

In 1933, he passed himself off as 20 years old, when in reality, he was 25. He did this in hopes to have a more successful career.

In 315 games over three seasons, Brack posted a .279 batting average (273-for-980) with 150 runs, 70 doubles, 18 triples, 16 home runs, 113 RBI, 92 bases on balls, .341 on-base percentage and .436 slugging percentage. He finished his major league career with a .969 fielding percentage playing at first base and all three outfield positions.^[1]

Brack died of suicide via gunshot at age 51.^[2]
