Barton Jennings "Bart" Gordon (born January 24, 1949) is a politician from the state of Tennessee, representing the state's 6th Congressional district (map) in the U.S. House of Representatives.

Gordon was born in Murfreesboro, Tennessee and he graduated from Middle Tennessee State University. Gordon was the state chairman of the Tennessee Democratic Party. He won a seat in the House of Representatives in 1984 in a hard-fought race against the brother of the publisher of Nashville, Tennessee's former conservative newspaper, the Nashville Banner. Gordon is regarded as a moderate. He has favored the repeal of the inheritance tax and the "marriage tax penalty".

Gordon was reelected by huge margins until 1994, when his Republican opponent was attorney Steve Gill, a former University of Tennessee basketball player who is now a radio talk show host. Gordon only won by one percentage point, but managed to defeat Gill more handily in 1996. Gordon was re-elected by large margins in 1998 and 2000. He faced no significant opposition in 2002 and 2004, in large part because the 2002 reapportionment by the Democratic-controlled Tennessee General Assembly removed Williamson County, a large suburban area south south of Nashville which is very strongly conservative and Republican, from the Sixth Congressional District and added it to the already overwhlemingly-Republican Seventh District. That district is now represented by Marsha Blackburn, Gordon's opponent in 1992.
