Gary Paul Haney (born April 16, 1955) RIBA, FAIA is an American-born international architect and design partner at the architectural firm Skidmore, Owings & Merrill (SOM). Haney is a pioneer designer of supertall buildings and is known primarily for the design of several acclaimed tall and supertall buildings around the world, most notably the 412-meter Al Hamra Tower in Kuwait City. Time magazine named the structure one of the 50 best inventions of the year in 2011.

Recent designs by Haney include the BBVA Bancomer Operations Center, International Gem Tower, Baccarat Hotel and Residences, Al Sharq Tower, and the Al Rajhi Bank Headquarters. He is also known for significant civic and government buildings such as the FBI Metropolitan Field Headquarters, International Monetary Fund Headquarters, and the Ottawa Embassy.

Haney's approach draws heavily on environmental modeling techniques, deep materials research, and advanced building information modeling (BIM) technologies. His design and research work has contributed to significant breakthroughs in tall building efficiency and materials use. Haney also serves as an educator, lectures frequently, and is the current chair of the National Building Museum in Washington, D.C.

Haney was born in Middletown, OH. He has said that his father, a building inspector in southern Ohio, often took him to job sites, and that the experience proved formative for his professional ambitions. Haney enrolled in Miami University, Oxford, OH, to pursue a career in Architecture. He studied abroad extensively during his undergrad years in Mexico, Luxembourg, London, and other places in Europe.
