Gary Sanchez Productions was a production company founded by Will Ferrell and Adam McKay, named after a fictional "Paraguayan entrepreneur and financier", Gary Sanchez.[1] McKay and Ferrell also founded the video site Funny or Die, under the ownership of the production company.

On April 8, 2019, it was announced that Ferrell and McKay would be dissolving their partnership, and that all developed projects at that time would continue to be completed.[2] In January 2020, it was announced that Ferrell opened the doors of Gloria Sanchez Productions, taking on new projects with a reorganized company.[3]
