Gordon is an unincorporated community in Manitoba, Canada, within the Rural Municipality of Rosser. The community is centred on PTH 6, approximately 3.5 kilometres (2.2 miles) north-west of Winnipeg and 9.5 kilometres (5.9 miles) south-east of Grosse Isle. It is named for James Gordon, who was in charge of leases in the General Manager's Office of the Canadian National Railway.

History

The railway point on the CNR Oak Point subdivision, operated by the Canadian National Railway, was established in 1905. In 1928, a grain elevator was built by Manitoba Pool Elevators. It was closed in 1988 and demolished the next year. A post office was opened in 1929, but it was closed in 1952.
