Trey Devey (born 1972) is president of the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra and was, for a six-month term, executive director of the Alabama Symphony Orchestra. He came to Birmingham in July 2007 to replace Paul Ferrone, who retired in October 2006. Devey resigned effective March 14, 2008 in order to tend to family matters at his home in Chicago, Illinois. He was succeeded by Curt Long of the Dayton Philharmonic Orchestra.

Devey previously held the same position with the Syracuse (New York) Symphony Orchestra and the Florida Philharmonic, but had worked outside the orchestra field as a strategy consultant at Chicago's Boston Consulting Group for several years before taking the ASO job. He earned his bachelor of music at Northern Illinois University and his MBA from the Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania. He also completed the Orchestra Management Fellowship program given by the American Symphony Orchestra League, which included appointments with the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra, American Composers' Orchestra, Fort Worth Symphony Orchestra and New York Philharmonic.

He succeeded Steven Monder as president of the Cincinnati orchestra in January 2009.

Devey and his wife, Amy, have two daughters, Elsie and Clara.
