Gregory Macalister Mathews CBE (10 September 1876 - 27 March 1949) was an Australian amateur ornithologist.

Mathews made his fortune in mining shares, and moved to England around 1900. He wrote The Birds of Australia (twelve volumes, 1910-1927), assisted by Tom Iredale. In 1939 he was elected a Fellow of the Royal Australasian Ornithologists Union, and served as its President 1946-1947. He donated his ornithological library to the National Library of Australia in 1940.
