Greeley Webster Whitford (June 5, 1856 – May 6, 1940) was a lawyer from Indiana State.

[3] He then practiced law in Bellingham, Washington from 1884 to 1887, when he moved to Denver, Colorado.

[5][3] He was one of the attorneys who argued the case of Wright v. Morgan before the Supreme Court of the United States in 1903, which resulted in a judgment by the Supreme Court that federal land conveyed to the city for use as a city cemetery could legally be conveyed by the city to the Roman Catholic Church for the same usage by the church.

In that capacity, he infuriated labor unions by sentencing sixteen United Mine Workers to a year in jail for contempt of court for violating an injunction previously issued by Whitford, preventing interference with strikebreakers in the Northern Colorado coal fields.

This led some members of the Colorado legislature to push for Whitford's impeachment from the bench.
