Gary Paul Butcher (born 11 March 1975) is a former English first-class cricketer. The brother of England Test player Mark and son of Alan, he was an all-rounder who bowled right arm medium pace.

Butcher started his career with Glamorgan in 1994, taking a wicket with his very first delivery in the Sunday League. He made his only first-class hundred in 1997, against Oxford University from just 64 balls. His best bowling figures came against Gloucestershire at Bristol in 1996 when he took 7/77.[1]

After not being able to command a regular position in the County Championship side he crossed over to Surrey in 1999. At Surrey he was part of a successful team, winning the Championship.[1]

In 2000 during a Championship match against Derbyshire he took four wickets in four balls, the first Surrey bowler to achieve the feat since Pat Pocock in 1972.[2]

Since retiring from playing, Butcher has worked as a sports coach at King's College School in Wimbledon and Reigate Priory CC.[2]
