Craig Gillies (born 6 May 1976) is an English rugby union player. He currently plays for Worcester Warriors in the Guinness Premiership. He plays as a lock.

Gillies was born in Paisley and grew up in Tiverton, Devon. He joined Bath Rugby following a trial in April 1994 and made three first team appearances during the 1995–1996 season. He moved on to join Richmond for the 1997–1998 season with the then Bath coach Andy Robinson feeling that the club's signing of the Argentian international German Llanes would prevent Gillies from getting the sufficient game time to allow him to fully develop his potential. Gillies moved on to join Llanelli before signing for Warriors in the summer of 2002.

Gillies was a key part of the unbeaten National Division One promotion winning team of 2003–04 and now is a key part of the team, playing in the Guinness Premiership.

Gillies, who played for England A in 1998, has experience in both National Division One and the Premiership with Warriors and signed a new three year contract with the club during 2008.

He is regarded as one of the best Line-out operators in the top-flight, and has been one of Worcester’s most consistent players since arriving at the club.

Gillies lost all his body hair to alopecia in 2002.
