John Cowper Gray (1783 – May 18, 1823) was a Virginia planter and politician aligned with the Democratic-Republican Party who served in the Virginia House of Delegates before and after his partial term as U.S. Congressman from Virginia's 20th congressional district. His middle name is used to distinguish him from an unrelated contemporary whose family emigrated from Pennsylvania into Virginia's western mountains and who represented Monroe County, as well as two other men who served much later in the Virginia General Assembly from other Virginia counties.
