Greg Mardon Somerville is a New Zealand rugby union player. Somerville is currently in the New Zealand national side, the All Blacks and is a front rower, specializing in the position of tighthead prop. Somerville made his debut in 2000 against Tonga, a match in which the All Blacks won 102–0. Somerville went 41 test matches before scoring his first, and so far only test try against Fiji in 2005.

Somerville plays provincial rugby for Canterbury Rugby Football Union and in the Super 14 for the Crusaders, having played 100 Super rugby matches after debuting against the Chiefs in 1999.
