John William Grover (20 April 1836 – 23 August 1892), was an early English consulting civil engineer responsible for several notable buildings in London and railway lines in England, Wales, Mexico and Venezuela.
He then joined the Science and Art Department, supervising and designing parts of the South Kensington Museum, the conservatory of the Royal Horticultural Society and domes for the 1862 International Exhibition.
He also designed water schemes at Bridgend, West Indies, Egypt, Austria, Denmark, Italy, and Switzerland.
In addition to being a member of the Institution of Civil Engineers, his interest in Ancient Roman artifacts led him to membership of the Society of Antiquaries and the British Archaeological Association.
