Gregory Vaitl "Greg" Boyer (born February 5, 1958) is a former American water polo player who was a member of the United States men's national water polo team and won a silver medal at the 1988 Summer Olympics in Seoul, South Korea.
Boyer grew up in New York City and played water polo at Aviation High School.
He attended the University of California, Santa Barbara where he played on the Gauchos men's water polo team from 1976–1979. He was a three-time All-American, being named to the first team in 1979. The Gauchos won the 1979 NCAA Division I Men's Water Polo Championship with Boyer named the Most Outstanding Player of the tournament.
Boyer started his club career with now-defunct Industry Hills in 1981 with former Gaucho teammate Craig Wilson. With Boyer leading the team, Industry Hills were named the USWP National Outdoor Champions in 1981, 1982, and 1984. He left the club in 1985 to return to his collegiate stomping grounds, joining Santa Barbara Water Polo Club for 1986 and 1987. In addition to playing for Santa Barbara, Boyer was a member of Sunset Water Polo Club from 1987 to 1988 and was a member of Sunset's 1988 USWP National Indoor Championship team.
In 1989, Boyer joined Santa Barbara Masters, a squad partially composed of the 1979 UC Santa Barbara Gauchos national championship team.
Boyer's first accomplishments with the United States men's national water polo team came at the Universiade, otherwise known as the World University Games. In the 1979 Summer Universiade, he won a gold medal in Water polo at the 1979 Summer Universiade. He followed that up in the 1981 Summer Universiade with a silver medal in Water polo at the 1981 Summer Universiade.
