Omar Gaither (born March 18, 1984) is an American football linebacker for the National Football League. He currently plays for the Philadelphia Eagles.

Omar grew up in Charlotte, North Carolina where he played football at Myers Park High School.
Gaither received significant playing time later in the 2006 season and could be a starter in 2007.
