Grover Washington Jr.
Grover Washington Jr. (11. november 1943 – 17. december 1999) var en amerikansk saxofonist.
Efter militærtjeneste sidst i 1960'erne indspillede han en serie plader i en let fusion-stil af stærkt varierende kvalitet. "Come Morning" fra 1980 er det rene pop, mens "Winelight" fra samme år er solid swingende jazz og solgte over 1 mio. eksemplarer og fik to Grammyer.
