Cary is a historic barony in County Antrim, Northern Ireland. To its north is the north-Antrim coast, and it is bordered by three other baronies: Dunluce Lower to the west; Dunluce Upper to the south; and Glenarm Lower to the south-east. The Giant's Causeway is situated on the north coast of Cary. Dunineny Castle lies in the civil parish of Ramoan within this barony.
The barony is named after the Cothrugu (Cotraigib, Crotraigib), an ancient tribe.
The hurling club Carey Faughs GAC, located in Ballyvoy, takes its name from the barony.
