Robert Gray (* 10. Mai 1755 in Tiverton, Colony of Rhode Island and Providence Plantations; † Juli 1806 auf See bei Charleston, South Carolina, USA) war der erste US-Amerikaner, der die Welt umsegelte. 1787 verließ Gray zusammen mit den Hafen von Boston auf zwei Schiffen, um an der Nordwestküste Amerikas Handel zu treiben. Danach brach Gray nach China auf und umrundete die Welt. Auf einer zweiten Expedition segelte er 1792 in die Mündung des Columbia River und benannte den Fluss nach seinem Schiff. Grays Erstbefahrung bildete später eine der Grundlagen für die territorialen Ansprüche der USA im Oregon Country.
