Geary (January 18, 1854 – July 6, 1929) was a U.S. Representative from California. Born in Boston, Massachusetts, Geary moved with his parents to San Francisco, California, in April 1863.

Geary was elected as a Democrat to the Fifty-first Congress to fill the vacancy caused by the resignation of John J. De Haven.
