John Harry Grainger (30 November 1854[1] – 15 April 1917[2]) was an Australian architect and civil engineer, who was also the father of musician Percy Grainger. Over his long career, between 1878 and 1915, he designed 14 bridges, notably Princes Bridge in Melbourne, and as an architect, designed half a dozen major public buildings, mainly in New Zealand, Perth, and Melbourne, notably the WA Supreme Court. He also designed some major commercial buildings in Melbourne (mostly demolished) such as Georges Store.
