Graham Whitehead (born in Harrogate, 15 April 1922 – died in Lower Basildon, Berkshire, 15 January 1981) was a British racing driver from England. He participated in one Formula One World Championship Grand Prix, on 19 July 1952. He finished 12th, scoring no championship points. He also competed in several non-Championship Formula One races. He co-drove no.37, one of the Bristol 450 team at Le Mans in 1953 with Lance Macklin.

He began racing his half-brother Peter's ERA, in 1951 and then drove his Formula 2 Alta in the 1952 British Grand Prix.
