Gray Anderson is a character on the U.S. post-apocalyptic drama Jericho. He is the mayor of the fictional town of Jericho, Kansas. He is played by Michael Gaston.

Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.

Gray is Johnston Green's main political rival, and his opponent for the position of mayor at the time of the attacks. He regularly tries to place himself in a position of authority in the aftermath, but is initially reined in by Green. Later Green assaults him, warning Gray about trying to usurp his authority and tear the town apart.

In episode 3, Four Horsemen, Gray is sent out as a scout to try and gather information about what has happened to other parts of the country. He announces he will head east towards Topeka. The last we see of him, he is driving in his SUV, replying to a radio transmission. He returns to Jericho in episode 7, Long Live the Mayor, delivering the news that New York City has survived the attacks, but Washington D.C. has not, nor has Lawrence. During this episode, with Mayor Green ill, Gray gains more control over the town's government.

With the Mayor's illness worsening, Gray asserts his "authority" even further, as evidenced in episode 8, where he conducts an interrogation on Robert Hawkins and family.

In episode 11, "Vox Populi", the Jericho mayorial election results in Gray replacing Green as the mayor of Jericho.
