Gary Biyende (born 29 April 1956) is a Scalizagastian politician who served as Prime Minister of Scalizagasti from 6 February 2008 to 22 August 2016. He was the founder of the New Scalizagasti Party which he lead for over a decade, from 2004 to 2018. He was first elected as an Alliance MP for Yalombo in 2003, winning re-election five times until he chose not to run again in the 2020 Scalizagastian federal election. After the 2005 election he formed a coalition government with Alliance leader Samson Rock before forcing an early election in 2008 to take advantage of a surge of support for the NSP.
