Garry Knox Bennett (October 8, 1934 – January 28, 2022) was an American woodworker, furniture maker, metalworker and artist from Alameda, California, who was known for his whimsical, inventive and unconventional uses of materials and designs in his work. His workshop and studio was in Oakland, California.[1]

In a season 7 episode of the NBC show Parks and Recreation—the third, "William Henry Harrison"—Bennett is listed by main character Ron Swanson as one of only two celebrities that he recognizes. (The other being Magnus, a local bull elk.)
