The 'Gary' mango is a named mango cultivar that originated in south Florida.

The 'Gary' has been sold as a nursery stock tree in Florida. 'Gary' trees are planted in the collections of the USDA's germplasm repository in Miami, Florida and the Miami-Dade Fruit and Spice Park in Homestead, Florida.
The fruit is small, averaging less than a pound, is of ovoid shape and has yellow skin.
