Gary Malcolm Pearce (born 27 February 1944) is an Australian former rower.

He was born in Leichhardt, New South Wales into a famous Australian rowing family.

Cecil's uncle Henry J "Harry, Jr" Pearce Jr., was also an Australian sculling champion and challenged for the world championship twice (in 1911 and 1913) and Harry Jr's son (Gary's second cousin) was Bobby Pearce, the dual Olympic gold medal winner and one of Australia's all-time greatest scullers.

In 1964 he partnered up with Barclay Wade of the Mosman Rowing Club in a composite double and won the national title in the men's double scull at the second ever Australian Rowing Championships.

In 1972 he was again in the Australian eight and that crew finished eighth in its event at the Munich Olympics.
