Gary Marjoribanks (born 1944), known as Gary Banks, is an Australian former rugby league player.

Banks was primarily a five-eighth, like his relative Bob Banks, a Kangaroos representative player.

In 1966, Banks was selected from Newcastle to play for Australia in the 1st Test against Great Britain at the SCG and scored a try for the Kangaroos, but still lost his place to John Gleeson for the remainder of the series.

Banks played first-grade for North Sydney from 1967 to 1969.
