Gary Alan Reese (born 1945) is an American politician and lawyer who served as a Republican member of the Virginia House of Delegates for the 67th district from 2002 to 2006. The district included portions of western Fairfax County and a small part of eastern Loudoun County, and was situated in the Washington, D.C. suburbs of Northern Virginia.
A moderate Republican, he was one of 34 Republican delegates who backed Virginia Governor Mark Warner's 2004 budget which included tax increases to balance the commonwealth's budget. In 2005, he drew the attention of anti-tax activists, who spent massively for his opponent in the Republican primary, Chris Craddock. Craddock defeated Reese in the primary. However, Craddock went on to lose the general election to Democrat Chuck Caputo.
Prior to his election to the House of Delegates, Reese served as the Sully District School Board member on the Fairfax County School Board from 1992 until 2001.
