Gary Paul Butcher (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 with a hint of swing.
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.
After not being able to command a regular position in the side he crossed over to Surrey in 1999. At Surrey he was part of a successful team, winning the County Championship.
After a desperately poor season in 2010 with the 1st XI, Gary is now trying his luck coaching the Under 15A team (U15 A) at King's College Wimbledon School and also coaches various rugby, basketball and football teams.
