The Hundred of Gregory is a cadastral hundred of the County of Frome in South Australia.[1] It was proclaimed by Governor Richard MacDonnell in 1858 and named for the explorer, Augustus Charles Gregory.
The hundred straddles the northern slopes of Mount Remarkable from just north of Melrose to just south of Wilmington. No townships or significant settlements lie within the hundred but the entirety is enclosed within the local bounds of Wilmington in the north and Melrose in the south.
