Gary De Roux (born 4 November 1962) is a boxing trainer and former professional boxer.

He was born in Manchester, though is most closely associated with Peterborough, where he was trained by Kevin Sanders, who went on to train Nigel Benn and several other world title holders.

He knocked out Sean Murphy in the fifth round to win the title on 5 March 1991, but in his first defence two months later, lost to Colin McMillan when the fight was stopped in the seventh round.
