Walter Gadsby (1872 – after 1897) was an English professional footballer who played in the Football League for Small Heath.[1]

Born in Bromsgrove, Worcestershire, he played local football for Astwood Bank and Redditch Excelsior before signing for Small Heath.[2] Despite scoring twice on his Second Division debut, on 13 February 1897 in a 6–2 win at Burton Wanderers,[3] and solid performances in the reserves, Gadsby played little first-team football. In 1898 he joined Watford before returning to his former club Redditch Excelsior.[2]
