David Ray Griffin (born August 8, 1939 in Wilbur, Washington) is a retired American professor of philosophy of religion and theology; and a political writer, publishing numerous books claiming that elements of the US government were involved in the attacks of September 11, 2001. Along with John B. Cobb, Jr., he founded the Center for Process Studies in 1973, a research center of Claremont School of Theology that seeks to promote the common good by means of the relational approach found in process thought.

Griffin has been described and criticized as a conspiracy theorist. Sources which describe David Ray Griffin as a "conspiracy theorist", "conspiracist", "conspiracy nut", or otherwise associate him with 9/11 conspiracy theories include:
 * David Aaronovitch in the London Times in 2008 wrote: "Griffin believes that no plane hit the Pentagon (despite hundreds of people seeing it) and that the World Trade Centre was brought down by a controlled demolition. There isn't a single point of alleged fact upon which Griffin's barking theory hasn't itself been demolished." Griffin and others have disputed both points of this criticism. On the Pentagon, Griffin has claimed a consensus among 9/11 researchers that "regardless of what hit the Pentagon, the Pentagon was not struck by AA 77 under the control of al-Qaeda." On the World Trade Center, AIA architect Richard Gage, after listening to a radio interview with Griffin in 2006, established Architects & Engineers for 9/11 Truth, which now has over 3,000 professional architects and engineers disputing the claim that the WTC buildings were brought down by fires resulting from airplane attacks. Griffin's view is further supported by a recent study at the University of Alaska Fairbanks, whose authors wrote: "The principal conclusion of our study is that fire did not cause the collapse of WTC 7 on 9/11, contrary to the conclusions of NIST and private engineering firms that studied the collapse."
