John Fairfax Conigrave (1843 – 20 June 1920), generally referred to as J. F. Conigrave or J. Fairfax Conigrave, was a businessman in South Australia. Conigrave was born in Rundle Street, Adelaide, the son of a Benjamin Conigrave, a cabinetmaker and his wife Matilda, née Reeve. He was educated at John L. Young's Adelaide Educational Institution from 1853 to 1858, when he left school to join the reporting staff of the South Australian Register. Around 1880 he left to join with C. N. Collison (another AEI student) in the real-estate business as Conigrave & Collison. He was appointed secretary to the fledgling South Australian Chamber of Manufactures, with offices co-located in Santo Buildings, Waymouth Street, under financial arrangements criticised by Rowland Rees as over-generous.
