Gautam Shome Sr. is an Indian first-class cricketer. He is recorded in cricket databases as a player active in the Indian domestic circuit, and the suffix "Sr." is used to distinguish him from a later cricketer of the same name in the same family lineage.

Shome belongs to the pool of cricketers who have represented sides in India's domestic competitions, which are organised under the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI). The principal first-class tournament in India is the Ranji Trophy, contested by state and regional associations.
