Gregory Vargas (born February 18, 1986) is a Venezuelan professional basketball player for Maccabi Haifa of the Israeli Premier League.

Vargas was described as a tough FIBA player, who could be a college basketball All-American, by ESPN basketball analyst Fran Fraschilla.

In the 2015–16 season, Vargas averaged 13.9 points and 6.4 assists per game in the Israeli Premier League, with Maccabi Haifa.

Vargas also played against the NBA's Vancouver Grizzlies as a part of Maccabi Haifa, in an NBA preseason game. He scored over 20 points in 8 games, and had 10 or more assists in 3 games as well, during the 2015–16 season.

On July 7, 2016, Vargas signed with French club SLUC Nancy. In November 2016, he left Nancy after appearing in eight games. On December 17, 2016, he returned to his former club Maccabi Haifa.

Vargas is a member of the senior men's Venezuelan national basketball team. As a member of the team at the 2015 FIBA Americas Championship, he helped Venezuela to defeat Uruguay and Canada to win the gold medal. That was Venezuela's first FIBA Americas Championship, and allowed them to qualify for the 2016 Summer Olympic Games in Rio, where Vargas also played with Venezuela.
