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 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.

He is known mainly by his middle name, "Paul" which he picked up at Oxford University. Butcher has now taken up a full-time job at King's School in Wimbledon, as a sports teacher. He teaches rugby, football, cricket, basketball and hockey.
