Kip Lee Gross (Born August 24, 1964 in Scottsbluff, Nebraska), is a retired Major League Baseball pitcher.

Gross played for four different ballclubs during his career: the Cincinnati Reds (1990-1991), Los Angeles Dodgers (1992-1993), Boston Red Sox (1999), and Houston Astros (2000). He made his Major League Baseball debut on April 21, 1990, and played his final game on May 29, 2000.

On May 10, 1994, Gross was purchased from the Los Angeles Dodgers by the Nippon Ham Fighters of the Japanese Pacific League. This explains his absence from Major League Baseball from 1994-1998. He was highly successful in Japan, leading the league in wins from 1995-1996. He returned to the United States in 1998 to undergo surgery. He is remembered as one of the finest non-Japanese players to have played for the Nippon Ham Fighters.
