John Murray, 4th Earl of Dunmore (1730 – February 25, 1809), was a British peer and colonial governor. He was the son of William Murray, 3rd Earl of Dunmore, and his wife Catherine (née Murray). He is best remembered as the last Royal Governor of the Colony of Virginia before the American Revolutionary War.
Early career
The naming of Dunmore Street was not to honour the ex-governor, but to celebrate the place in Norfolk where he had last set foot.
