John Gardner Murray (August 31, 1857 – October 3, 1929) was the sixteenth presiding bishop of the Episcopal Church.

He was the first person elected to the position rather than succeeding to it automatically as the oldest bishop when his predecessor died.

In 1884, Mrs. Murray and Emeline drowned when the steamer Belmont capsized on the Ohio River during a cyclone.

By April 1894, he was ordained a priest of the Episcopal Church in Selma, Alabama.

He died in office in New York City in 1929, and is buried in Druid Ridge Cemetery in Pikesville, Baltimore County, Maryland.
