Ken Gray (1938–1992) was a sheep farmer from Porirua, New Zealand. He represented New Zealand in Rugby, playing lock and later prop forward. He could play on either side of a scrum. In 1970, he refused to tour South Africa in protest at its policy of apartheid and resigned from the game.
He was elected a Hutt County Councillor in 1971 and became a Porirua City Councillor in 1973 when the riding of the County he was the member for, joined Porirua City. Later he was elected to the Hutt Valley Energy Board and to The Wellinmgton Regional Council where he continued to serve until his unexpected death of a heart attack in 1992.(His brother Jim Gray also died of a heart attack in 1999).
The Petone Rugby Club, where he played, commemorates him with the Ken Gray Academy. The Ken Gray Education Centre was established in a converted shearing shed on the Battle Hill Forest Farm, near the Gray family farm, Pauatahanui Inlet, after his death.
