Gary Ronald Mason (born 15 October 1979) is a retired Scottish professional footballer, who played for Manchester City, Dunfermline Athletic, St Mirren and Hamilton Academical.
Mason began his career with Manchester City in 1996 and stayed with the club until 2000, making 19 first team league appearances for the Blues. Mason scored once for City, in a League Cup against Notts County. He also had a loan spell at Hartlepool United.
After being released by Manchester City in 2000, Mason joined recently promoted Scottish Premier League side Dunfermline Athletic in December 2000. In his six-and-a-half years with the Pars, Mason appeared in a Scottish Cup final, a Scottish League Cup final and also played in both of Dunfermline's UEFA Cup matches against Icelandic side Hafnarfjarðar. After the Pars relegation to the Scottish First Division in 2007, Mason opted to stay in the SPL with St Mirren, signing on a free transfer. He left the Buddies in June 2009.
After his departure from St Mirren, Irish sides Bohemians and St Patrick's Athletic expressed interest in signing Mason. However, on 29 August 2009 it was confirmed that he had signed for Hamilton Academical on a short term contract. He was then released by Hamilton, having only made five appearances for the club.
