Anthony Cary, 5th Viscount Falkland PC (16 February 1656 – 24 May 1694; the surname is spelt Carey in some sources) was a Scottish nobleman and English politician. He was the son of Henry Cary, 4th Viscount Falkland.

 * Mila Inge Cary (d. 21 October 1683)

A Member of the Parliament of England, he was sworn of the Privy Council of England in 1692 and served as First Lord of the Admiralty from 1693 to 1694. Samuel Pepys had a rather low opinion of his abilities, while admitting that he suffered from chronic ill-health.

The Falkland Islands are named in his honour. The Viscounts Falkland in turn take their title from the Scottish monarchs' residence Falkland Palace, in Falkland, Fife, Scotland.
