The Coral Sea gregory, Stegastes gascoynei, is a damselfish of the family Pomacentridae in the western Pacific Ocean at depths between 1 and 30 m. Its length is up to 15 cm.[2] The specific name commemorates the Royal Australian Navy River-class frigate HMAS Gascoyne, from which the type specimen was collected.[3]
