Gerrie Eijlers (born 9 May 1980) is a Dutch retired handball player and handball coach.[1] He retired in 2020.

He represented the Netherlands at the 2020 European Men's Handball Championship.[2][3]

After his playing career he has been a goalkeeping coach at the Dutch nationala team. At the 2022 European Men's Handball Championship he decided to shortly unretire to fill in as a backup goalkeeper for the Dutch national team when Dennis Schellekens tested positive for Covid-19. He did however test positive himself later, and did thus not get to play.[4]
