Carroll Richard Gibbons (January 4, 1903 – May 10, 1954) was an American-born pianist, bandleader and popular composer who made his career primarily in England during the British dance band era.

[4] Gibbons made occasional return trips to the United States but settled permanently in England, though he did spend a couple of years (1930–1931) in Hollywood, where he worked as a staff composer for MGM films.

[2] The group recorded hundreds of popular songs (many of which were sung by Anne Lenner) between June 1932 and his death in 1954, all featuring Gibbons on piano.

[1] As a composer, Gibbons's most popular songs included "A Garden in the Rain" (1928, his Savoy signature) and "On the Air" (1932).

Gibbons also features regularly on the bi-weekly Manx Radio programme Sweet & Swing, presented by Howard Caine.
