Gary Winston Boyle (born 24 November 1941 in Bihar, India) is a British jazz fusion guitarist.

After attending the Leeds College of Music, Boyle joined the folk rock band Eclection.[1] He then worked in Dusty Springfield's tour band and became a member of Brian Auger and the Trinity.[2] As a session musician, he worked in the early 1970s with e.g. Keith Tippett, Mike Gibbs, Mike Westbrook, Soft Machine,[3] Stomu Yamashta's short-lived band "East Wind", Bert Jansch and Norma Winstone.[1][4]

In 1973, Boyle founded the jazz fusion band Isotope with, initially, Jeff Clyne (bass), Brian Miller (keyboards) and Nigel Norris (drums). They released three albums until 1976. Since then, Boyle has persued a solo career, also as a music teacher in several English institutions.[1]
