Gaston Féry (24 April 1900 – 29 November 1985) was a French sprinter who participated in the 1920s Olympic Games.[1]
Born in Longwy, département Meurthe et Moselle, he competed at the 1920 and 1924 Summer Olympics in the 400 metre and 4×400 metre relay and finished third and fifth in the relay, respectively; he failed to reach the finals in his individual events. Nationally, Féry won six 400 metre titles in 1919–1924. He later co-founded the Sports Club of Meudon, where he played and coached association football.[2]
He died in Paimpol, département Côtes-d'Armor.
