Gregory D. Hess (born August 6, 1962) is an American economist, college administrator, and the president of Wabash College. Hess served as professor of economics, dean of the faculty, and vice president of academic affairs at Claremont McKenna College prior to his appointment at Wabash College.

A native of San Francisco, Hess received an undergraduate degree at the University of California, Davis, followed by master's and doctoral degrees at Johns Hopkins University.

Hess was a visiting scholar at the Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland and an economist for the Federal Reserve Board of Governors in Washington, D.C. He was later the dean of faculty and vice president for academic affairs at Claremont McKenna College and named the James G. Boswell Professor of Economics at the college in 2011. He was named president of Wabash College in July 2013.

Hess serves as book review editor of the journal Macroeconomic Dynamics. He is on the editorial board of Economics & Politics. Hess co-edited a book, Intranational Macroeconomics; two editions have been published. He is a member on the Shadow Open Market Committee and a fellow at the Center for Economic Studies.

On July 1, 2014, Hess was inaugurated as the next president of the college, following the departure of Patrick E. White. Hess delivered his inaugural address, stating,

Our true academic mission — to liberally educate each and every student — is a timeless reminder of the lives we change here at Wabash College, one young man at a time. For while the problems facing higher education and the world are complex, the solutions need not be. Amidst the jostle and the fray and the haranguing static and noise that often surround our academic endeavor, stands our foundation: the simple gifts of the liberal arts. These profound gifts — the ability to act, to see, and to speak — are the bedrock that underpin teaching and learning at Wabash College.
