Gerard Vincent Toohey (born 22 October 1966) is a former Australian rules footballer who played with Geelong in the Victorian Football League (VFL).

Toohey, a recruit from Barooga, made his only senior VFL appearance for Geelong in the 1985 VFL season.[1][2] He was one of five changes, for Geelong's round 13 game against Collingwood at Victoria Park, which they won by six points.[2][3] His brother, Bernard Toohey, missed the game due to suspension.[3]

He later played in the South Australian National Football League, for West Torrens and then West Adelaide.[3][4][5]
