John Munford Gregory (July 8, 1804 – April 9, 1884) was a US political figure and Acting Governor of Virginia from 1842 to 1843.

Gregory was born in Virginia on July 8, 1804 and was a member of the Virginia state House of Delegates from 1831 to 1840. He served as acting Governor of Virginia from 1842 to 1843 and then as a state court judge in Virginia. Gregory died on April 9, 1884 and was buried at Shockoe Hill Cemetery in Richmond, Virginia.
