Garr M. King (born 1936, Pocatello, Idaho) is a Judge of the U.S. District Court for the District of Oregon. He was appointed to the federal bench by President Clinton in 1997 to fill a vacancy left by Helen J. Frye's attaining senior judge status. A graduate of University of Utah, he received his LL.B. from Lewis & Clark College's Northwestern School of Law in 1963. Before becoming a federal judge, he served as a Multnomah County prosecutor, and engaged in private practice.

In November 2007, King announced his desire to be given senior judge status, which will open up a position on the court. [cite news
