Natalie Anne Gulbis (b. January 7, 1983) is a professional golfer. She played in her first LPGA event as an amateur at the age of 14. She turned professional at 18 after a brief stint on the women's golf team of The University of Arizona.

Gulbis is considered to be the LPGA's sex symbol. When she released her calendar for 2005, which featured Gulbis in different pictures that showed her playing golf, in addition to striking steamy poses in swimwear, just before the 2004 U.S. Women's Open, the USGA barred it from being sold at the event, deeming it inappropriate, though the calendar was sold very openly at golf events in Canada. The USGA was criticized for overreacting. The calendar has become one of the best-selling calendars in the United States. Gulbis also posed for the November 2004 issue of the magazine FHM, an issue that also gave away a chance to play golf with her at her home course in Las Vegas, the Lake Las Vegas Resort, where her calendar photo shoot took place. Gulbis has said that she likes the attention she gets, even if it's for her looks. She is said to be a friendly person.

Gulbis placed 97th on FHM-US's 100 Sexiest Women 2005. She is dating Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger.
