Gorham A. Worth (1783 – April 3, 1856) was a president of City National Bank.

Worth was born in Hudson, New York. His father Thomas Worth had been among the founders of the community. It is a common mistake, repeated here and there, that his brother was General William Jenkins Worth; William Jenkins Worth was his cousin.{{Cite book|title = The Old Merchants of New York City, Volume 5|last = Walter|first = Barrett|publisher = Thomas R.
