John Allen Gable (1943, Rockford - February 18, 2005, Glen Cove) was an American historian who specialized in Theodore Roosevelt. Executive director of the Theodore Roosevelt Association from 1974 until his death in 2005, Gable was described as a "walking Theodore Roosevelt encyclopedia" by Bill Bleyer of Newsday. Marcelle Fischer of the New York Times wrote in 2006 that Gable was "widely considered to be the country's, if not the world's, foremost expert on Roosevelt."
