Augustino Eugenio "Gus" Mercurio (10 August 1928 – 7 December 2010) was an American-Australian chiropractor, actor, boxing referee, boxing judge, and sports commentator. He was equally prominent as a character actor on film and television, and as a personality in the sports world. He was a long-time commentator on the Seven Network's World of Sport from 1976 to 1987. The Sydney Morning Herald described him as "one of the most recognised and loved faces in Australian television," while boxing writer Paul Upham called him "one of the great characters of Australian boxing."
