Gavin Andrew Mahon (born 2 January, 1977 in Birmingham, West Midlands) is an English professional football player who currently plays as a defensive midfielder for Queens Park Rangers.

Mahon was a trainee with Wolverhampton Wanderers but did not do enough to secure a professional deal with the club. He was signed on a free transfer by Hereford United in 1996 and spent two and a half seasons at Edgar Street .In all he made 83 competitive appearances and scored 4 goals for the Bulls, indeed he played in every league game in 1997-98. His performances impressed Brentford manager Ray Lewington who signed him for a nominal fee of £50,000, which eventually increased to £130,000 under the terms of the transfer deal. Mahon went on to make over 150 appearances for Brentford over a 4 year period before attracting the attentions of Division One side Watford. Mahon joined Watford in March 2002 for £150,000 and found himself part of a struggling side.

Mahon was one of several players who took a voluntary pay cut during Watford's financial troubles in the post-Vialli era and became a much respected figure among the fans for doing so. Following the departure of Sean Dyche under Aidy Boothroyd, Mahon was installed as captain and his play has continued to go from strength to strength. His leadership and combative nature became a key part of Watford's Championship campaign in 2005-2006 season which ended with him lifting the play-off trophy after a 3–0 defeat of Leeds United. After gaining promotion Mahon signed a two year contract extension at Watford, which will take him through to the end of the 2008-2009 season as a Watford player.

On December 15, 2007 it was announced by Watford manager Aidy Boothroyd that Mahon's contract would not be renewed for the 2008-2009 season. [http://www.watfordfc.premiumtv.co.uk/page/NewsDetail/0,,10400~1188565,00.html]

Mahon joined Queens Park Rangers on December 31st 2007 on an 'emergency loan' with a view to a permanent transfer in the future.

Mahon is an avid follower of Birmingham City and attends games where he can.
