Edward James "Ned" Gregory (29 May 1839 in Waverley, New South Wales – 22 April 1899 in Randwick, New South Wales) was an Australian cricketer who played in the first recognised Test in 1877 between Australia and England in Melbourne.

Ned was the father of a famous Australian cricketer, Syd Gregory, and brother of Dave Gregory who captained the first Australian eleven in England in 1878. Ned was also father-in-law of Harry Donnan.

In the latter part of his life he was custodian of the Association ground at Sydney (later to be known as the Sydney Cricket Ground) after building the scoreboard there.

Both Gregory and Nat Thomson are indicated by Wisden to have been born on the same day, and jointly hold the distinction of being earliest-born Australian Test cricketer.
