Gary Britt (born 21 March 1962) is an Australian former rugby league player for the Canberra Raiders.

A foundation player, Britt joined the Canberra Raiders from Yass prior to the 1982 NSWRFL season. He started out on the bench, then got his maiden first-grade start in round 15, partnering Jon Hardy in the second-row.[1] An attacking forward, Britt was a capable goal-kicker when required and kicked five goals, along with a try, in a win over St. George that season.[2] From 1983, Britt was largely restricted to the reserves.[3]

Britt's son Matt played with the Raiders in the Toyota Cup.[4]
