Ephraim Wales Bull (March 4, 1806 – September 26, 1895) was an American farmer, best known for the creation of the Concord grape.

[1] He was an apprentice for a goldbeater at a young age, and on September 10, 1826, he married Mary Ellen Walker of Dorchester.

Complaining of lung problems, Bull moved to Concord, in 1836, settling with his wife on a farm next door to Amos Bronson Alcott.

In 1843, Bull began the deliberate process of breeding a grape that could thrive in the cold New England climate.

He was buried in the Sleepy Hollow Cemetery in Concord, with an epitaph reading, "He Sowed Others Reaped" a biblical reference to John 4 verse 38.
