Garry Kimble (born 6 August 1966 in Poole, Dorset) is an English ex-professional football player.

Kimble, along with his twin brother Alan, started his career as a trainee at Charlton Athletic where he made his league debut, going on to play nine times, scoring once. Both he and his brother then had brief loan spells with Exeter City before the pair of them joined Cambridge United on free transfers in July 1986.

Whilst brother Alan went on to spend seven years at The Abbey Stadium, Garry spent just over a year with the club, making 41 appearances, mainly from the left wing, and scoring twice. He was sold to Doncaster Rovers for £7,500 and went onto be a regular in their team, making 65 appearances with a solitary goal.

After a brief spell with Fulham he signed for Gillingham where he played 48 games, scoring once before moving to Peterborough United. It was while there that Kimble had his finest moment as he scored the winning goal for Posh in a 1–0 League Cup win over Liverpool in December 1991 to catapult him into the national sports headlines.

Following his spell with Peterborough, Kimble dropped into the non-league game and has since played for a number of clubs. He had three spells with Dagenham & Redbridge and has also represented, amongst others, Purfleet, Grays Athletic, Chelmsford City, Canvey Island, Aveley, Braintree Town, Harlow Town and Maidstone United. He has also managed Tilbury.
