Gregg Easton (born 2 March) is an Australian radio & television journalist, broadcaster and voice-over artist. With a professional career spanning more than three decades, he has worked in Sydney, Brisbane, the Gold Coast, Canberra, Wollongong, and Launceston. He has also been a successful race car driver and commentator, competing in categories such as the Australian Touring Car Championship and Sport Sedans.

Prior to his media career, Easton lived in Sydney and attended Castle Hill Public School before moving to The King's School, Parramatta. Before sitting for his Higher School Certificate exams, Easton auditioned for Sydney's prestigious Max Rowley Media Academy and was accepted the following year. By year's end he began a media cadet-ship as a trainee at country radio station 3SR in Shepparton.

In less than a year Easton moved to major provincial media, commencing at radio 2CC in Canberra. He also began doing voice-overs and presenting at Capital 7 television. In less than three-years he began working in metropolitan media after being hired by renowned radio programmer, Ray Bean, to join the on-air line-up at 2WS, in Australia's largest media market – Sydney. However at just 21 years of age, he felt out-of-place with the considerable age-gap between him and his fellow 2WS presenters, as well as the station's older music & news format and transferred to 2 Double O in Wollongong, where he also began presenting a weekly afternoon music segment on WIN Television. Easton's biggest influence and idol in radio was Ron E Sparks so when the Sydney radio legend offered him an opportunity to join the on-air line-up at Sydney's 2UW a year later, he jumped at the chance, beginning a three-year stint at the station.
