Narciso Garay (June 12, 1876 - March 27, 1953) was a Panamanian violinist, composer, and political figure.

Born in Panama City,[1] Garay was the son of painter Epifanio Garay [es]; his sister was the poet Nicole Garay.[2] He studied at the Royal Conservatory of Brussels, where he took a first prize, and at the Schola Cantorum in Paris, [3] and from 1902 until 1903 was a pupil of Gabriel Fauré.

Active as well in the diplomatic service, at one time he served as Minister of Foreign Affairs. He died in the city of his birth.[3]
