Archibald Gracie (June 25, 1755 – April 11, 1829) was a Scottish-born shipping magnate and early American businessman and merchant in New York City and Virginia whose spacious home, Gracie Mansion, now serves as the residence of the Mayor of New York City.
He later moved to Petersburg, Virginia, and engaged in the export of tobacco to Great Britain.
Gracie was a business partner of Alexander Hamilton and a friend of John Jay.
Used primarily as his country home, the mansion quickly became a hub of the New York city social scene.
Gracie's distinguished guests at the mansion included Hamilton (who founded the New-York Evening Post, now the New York Post, there), future United States president John Quincy Adams, and future French king Louis Phillippe.
Senator, Governor of New Jersey and Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States.
