Metcalf Ross (c. 1754 – 2 January 1858)[1] was an English master printer and sometime poet/songwriter in Tyneside.[2][3] He was born in Sunderland, Tyne and Wear.[4]

There are two noted works by Ross.

The first, a song, is given different titles in the different chapbooks. It is entitled "A New Year's Carol (A) (For the Fishwives of Newcastle)" - by Fordyce on page 138 of The Tyne Songster of 1840,[5] and "The Fishwives Carol" – by France on page 180 of Songs of the Bards of the Tyne of 1850.[6]

The second work, a poem, entitled "Address to Robert Emery" – allegedly written as a tribute on the death of Emery in 1870 – and given on page 290 of Allan's Illustrated Edition of Tyneside Songs and Readings of 1891.
