Gary Stuart Boyd (born 4 October 1986) is an English professional golfer who currently plays on the Challenge Tour.
Boyd was born in Banbury, England and attended Chenderit School in Middleton Cheney. He turned professional in 2007.
Boyd had a strong start to the 2009 Challenge Tour season, recording his first win at the Tusker Kenya Open. He followed that by finishing as runner-up to Edoardo Molinari at the Piemonte Open, to lead the Challenge Tour Rankings at the end of May.
He had a good first season on the European Tour in 2010, the highlight being a runner-up finish at the Czech Open and he finished 50th on the Order of Merit. However after a poor 2012 season he lost his full playing rights on tour.
In 2015 he played on the Challenge Tour, initially on invitations, and finished seventh to earn a return to the European Tour.
