Julian "The Kid" Gardner (also known as Julian "The Wrangler" Gardner) is a poker player from Manchester, England.

Gardner is a second-generation professional, following in the footsteps of his father Dave. He started going to a local casino at the age of 15. By the time he was 20 he had won 10 tournaments. By 21, he had made 25 final tables.

In 2000 he entered the World Series of Poker (WSOP) main event for the first time. He tripled up within two hours to become the early chip leader. However, he was unable to make it through that day. Gardner was unable to attend the tournament in 2001.

At the age of 22, he finished second in the 2002 World Series of Poker, becoming the youngest player ever to win $1 million in a poker tournament. He is also the only Englishman to finish in the top two of the World Series. Gardner also finished in the money at the main event in 2003 and 2004, making him the only player to finish in the money in 2002, 2003 and 2004. He qualified for the 2005 WSOP on the website Betfair. Although he did not make it into the money in the 2005 Main Event, he made 4 money finishes in other events, including the $5,000 No Limit Hold-Em tournament won by TJ Cloutier and the $1,500 Pot Limit Omaha tournament won by Barry Greenstein.

Gardner prefers not to travel to tournaments unless he qualifies for them on the internet, as that way his expenses are picked up for him.

Gardner also made appearances on the Late Night Poker
television series. He is the co-author of the book The Secrets of Online Power Poker.

As of 2005, his total live tournament winnings exceed $1,630,000.
