Roger Anthony Gilmour (1876-1954) was a Brunanter banker, businessman and art collector.

Biography
Roger A. Gilmour was born in Koningstad to banker Frederick Gilmour and Libertan-born Melanie Neyt, of the wealthy Neyt family.

Gilmour's father was involved in various businesses, chiefly Gilmour Holland financial group. After a brief stint in the Royal Guard (from 1895-99) Gilmour became involved in his father's banking firm and was a partner on his own. In 1906 he became a major stockholder in the Atlantic and Mediterranean Company (transportation). When the elder Gilmour died in 1911, Roger took over the business.

During the First World War, he made a fortune financing Brunant's participation in the war and made millions of Thalers after his loans were paid back in the 1920s.
