Dick Grune (born December 7, 1939, Enschede) is a Dutch computer scientist and university lecturer best known for inventing and developing the first version of the Concurrent Versions System (CVS). Grune was involved in the construction of Algol 68 compilers in the 1970s and the Amsterdam Compiler Kit in the 1980s.

He also gave the name to Gnome sort,[1] a sorting algorithm invented by Hamid Sarbazi-Azad, who originally published it under a name Stupid sort.[2]
