Garry Birtles (born 27 July 1956) is a retired English footballer, who played as a forward in the Football League between the 1970s and 1990s. He is best known for his time at Nottingham Forest, during which he won the 1979 and 1980 European Cup Finals. He was also capped three times by England.

Gary made his debut for Manchester United under manager Dave Sexton 22 October 1980, in a First Division victory over Stoke City at the Victoria Ground. He made 28 appearances in his first season with the club. He scored his first league goal for United in the 1981–82 season, and went on to score 11 times for them that season. Coincidentally, his Manchester United spell ended where it began—against Stoke City. His final appearance for them came on the last day of the season, when they beat the Potters 2–0 at Old Trafford. He began the 1982–83 season still with Manchester United, but was not selected for a first team game, and returned to play for Nottingham Forest.
