Gurdon Saltonstall (27 March 1666 – 20 September 1724) was governor of the Colony of Connecticut from 1708 to 1724. Born into a distinguished family, Saltonstall became an accomplished and eminent Connecticut pastor. A close associate of Governor Fitz-John Winthrop, Saltonstall was appointed the colony's governor after Winthrop's death in 1707, and then reelected to the office annually until his own death.

    "Seldom do our early annals afford an instance of the enjoyment by one person, of such varied honors and preferments as were so gracefully borne and honorably filled by the Reverend Gurdon Saltonstall, who adorned the highest offices in church and State, to which he was successively called by the freemen of Connecticut."
