Gary Martin Allenson (born February 4, 1955) is an American former Major League Baseball catcher and coach and minor league manager. In 2017, he spent a second stint as manager of the New Hampshire Fisher Cats of the Double-A Eastern League, after serving the previous three seasons in that role with the Triple-A Buffalo Bisons of the International League.[1] Both are affiliates of the Toronto Blue Jays.

In October 2017, Allenson and the Blue Jays severed their relationship.[2] A former backup catcher for the Blue Jays, he had been a member of the Toronto player development organization since January 7, 2013.[3]
