Uri Gilbert (July 10, 1809–June 17, 1888) was an American carriage maker from Troy, New York, making both passenger and freight cars. He was apprenticed at the age of 14 to learn the carriage-building trade. At the end of his apprenticeship he became partner with Oramus Eaton of the Eaton & Gilbert Company. He kept pace with technological advancements and expanded the business by the time Eaton retired and Gilbert established the Gilbert Car Company. The companies produced passenger trolley and railroad cars, freight cars, and during the American Civil War, gun carriages. He entered politics in the 1840s becoming alderman and the mayor of Troy. Gilbert was active in many for-profit and civic organizations over the course of his life. He employed Charles Nalle as a coachman and when he was arrested due to the Fugitive Slave Law, he helped free him.
