Gabriel Iván Heinze (Spanish pronunciation: ; born 19 April 1978) is an Argentine former footballer who operated as either a left-back or a central defender, and is the manager of Vélez Sarsfield.

Nicknamed Gringo ("Blonde" in Argentine–Spanish slang), he made a name for himself at Paris Saint-Germain, moving in 2004 to Manchester United and subsequently to Real Madrid, winning three trophies with the latter two clubs. He started and finished his 18-year professional career with Newell's Old Boys.

Heinze played 72 times with Argentina, representing the nation at two World Cups and as many Copa América tournaments.

Heinze was born in Crespo, Entre Ríos to a Volga German father and an Italian mother, thus holding both nationalities. He began his career in his home country with Newell's Old Boys and, following attention from various European clubs, the 19-year-old signed for Real Valladolid in Spain, not managing one single La Liga appearance in his first season and also being loaned to Sporting CP in the summer of 1998.
