Grace Rainey Rogers (June 28, 1867 – May 9, 1943) was an American art patron, art collector, and arts philanthropist. She had donated significant amounts of money to the Cleveland Museum of Art, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, and the Museum of Modern Art; and as a result she is the namesake of many buildings in the United States. Rogers was the daughter of industrialist businessman, William J. Rainey (1836–1900), and Eleanor B. (née Mitchell) Rainey (1842–1905).
