Murray Ross (born in Whangarei, New Zealand, in 1950) is a New Zealand sailor and yacht designer who competed at the Summer Olympics and in the Whitbread Around the World race. Ross sailed a Flying Dutchman with Jock Bilger, coming second at the 1971 Flying Dutchman World Championships before sailing at the 1972 Olympics, finishing 9th. They again finished second at the 1975 World Championships before competing at the 1976 Olympics, finishing 12th. New Zealand boycotted the 1980 Summer Olympics and so Ross did not compete. He has designed a series of boats, including the Ross 930.
