Robert Gray (3 October 1809 – 1 September 1872) was the first Anglican Bishop of Cape Town.

As a priest he was interested in mission, and was local secretary for the Society for the Propagation of the Gospel in Foreign Parts.

Soon after arriving he set out on a journey to explore his diocese, accompanied by James Green, who was to be rector of Pietermaritzburg in the Colony of Natal.

Robert Gray was married on 6 September 1836 to Sophy Myddleton, the daughter of county squire Richard Wharton Myddleton of Durham and Yorkshire, and founded St George's Grammar School, in 1848 in the shadow of the St. George's Cathedral and Diocesan College, or Bishops as it is commonly known, in Rondebosch, Cape Town, in 1849.

[3] Gray and his wife looked after the children of Sandile kaNgqika, including his daughter Emma, aiming to provide influence over the Gaika people.
