John de Grey, 1st Baron Grey de Rotherfield, KG (29 October 1300 - September 1359) was an English soldier and courtier.
John Grey of Rotherfield was one of the founder members of the Most Noble Order of the Garter. He is often confused with John Grey of Codnor, who bore the same coat of arms (Barry argent and azure).
By December 1349, John was Lord Steward of the Royal Household of King Edward III. He distinguished himself well in the Scotch and French wars. He was summoned to parliament many times from 1338 to 1357, and is thus regarded as having become Baron Grey of Rotherfield.
