Robert Gray (10 mai 1755 – c. juillet 1806) est un capitaine de marine marchande et un explorateur américain. Il commanda le premier bateau américain qui fit le tour du monde en 1790 et fut le premier à entrer dans le fleuve Columbia en 1792, qu'il nomma d'après le nom de son navire, Columbia Rediviva. Avec ses voyages sur la côte Pacifique du Nord-Ouest de l'Amérique du Nord, il fut le pionnier du commerce américain de fourrure dans cette région.
