Gary Stewart Teale (born 21 July 1978) is a Scottish professional footballer and manager who is currently a free agent. He most recently managed St Mirren.
Teale started his career in Scotland in 1995 with Clydebank before spending three years with Ayr United. He moved to England in 2001 when he signed for Wigan Athletic and played an important part in the Wigan side that rose from the third tier (Division Two) to second (Division One) for the first time in the club's history and then went one step further to reach the top flight. Whilst at Wigan he started in the 2006 Football League Cup Final. He then left for Championship side Derby County where he achieved promotion to the Premier League for the second time, although Teale was not a member of the matchday 16 for the 2007 Football League Championship play-off Final. During his time at Derby, he spent time on loan with Plymouth Argyle and Barnsley.
After three years and over 100 appearances for the club, Teale left Derby in June 2010, signing for Sheffield Wednesday on a two-year deal. Teale has also represented Scotland at international level, winning 13 caps for his country between 2006 and 2009.
