Garry Gergich, also known as Jerry, Barry, Larry or Terry, is a fictional character in the comedy television series Parks and Recreation, portrayed by Jim O'Heir. The character has appeared in every episode of the series, with the exception of the first-season episode "Canvassing". He was credited as a recurring character for the first two seasons, but was promoted to the main cast beginning with season three.

Jerry's real name is Garry, but he is referred to as Jerry for the first five seasons (for which reason the character is usually referred to by this name in external media). In the last two seasons — as a running joke — the name other characters call him changes, initially to Larry, then to Terry, before finally settling on Garry, with most characters unaware that this is his actual name.
