Garry Lee Tonon (born September 12, 1991) is an American submission grappler and mixed martial artist. He is a five-time Eddie Bravo Invitational champion, and has won titles at ADCC submission wrestling championship, IBJJF World and Pan American championships.

He is known for his use of leglocks in submission-only grappling matches, and is a former member of the Danaher Death Squad, a grappling team that was led by John Danaher at Renzo Gracie Academy.

While he still maintains a consistent submission grappling training schedule, since his debut in early 2018 Tonon has focused primarily on training and competing in professional mixed martial arts competition.

Tonon has background in folkstyle wrestling, holds a black belt in Brazilian jiu-jitsu under Tom DeBlass & Ricardo Almeida, and is the head instructor of Garry Tonon Jiu Jitsu in East Brunswick, New Jersey.
