Gary Guyton (born November 14, 1985 in Hinesville, Georgia) is a linebacker for the New England Patriots of the National Football League. Guyton played college football for the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets.

Guyton, an undrafted free agent, made the Patriots' 53-man roster, and has been active for every game of the Patriots' 2008 season, while third-round draft pick Shawn Crable, an outside linebacker, was inactive, and another inside linebacker, sixth-round draft pick Bo Ruud, was placed on injured reserve. In fact, in the Patriots' against the San Francisco 49ers, the Patriots employed multiple nickel and dime defenses that gave Guyton more defensive snaps than inside linebacker Jerod Mayo, the Patriots' 2008 first-round draft pick.
