Rice Thomas Hopkins Gemmell (1896–1972) was an Australian tennis player.

Born in Caulfield, Victoria, by 1916 he was living in Claremont, Western Australia and was enlisted in World War I as a bombardier.[2] Gemmell is best known for winning the 1921 Australasian Championships men's singles title, held at Perth, where he beat Alf Hedeman in the final.[3] In the same year, he also won the men's doubles title, partnering Stanley Eaton. Gemmell was Western Australia's top player during the 1920s. In 1924 Gemmell opened a store which sold sports equipment with fellow player Keith McDougall.[4] Gemmell turned professional in 1927. In 1932 he became a gold miner and in 1940 he survived a car crash in which the driver of the car died.[1] He died in 1972 and is interred in Tewantin, Queensland.
