Graham Stack (born 26 September 1981 in Hampstead, London) is a Republic of Ireland U21 international football goalkeeper currently on loan at Leeds United from Reading.

He joined Arsenal for the start of the 2000-01 season, but for the following, 2001-02, he was plagued with injury and loaned out to Koninklijke Sportkring Beveren along with some other Arsenal players. In December 2001, Stack came under physical attack during a Beveren match, as hooligans charged at him. He punched one of the hooligans in the face, and riot police were quickly on the scene.

His Arsenal debut came in a League Cup match against Rotherham United on 28 October 2003, a match his team won 9-8 on penalties. He continued to play all five of Arsenal's matches in that competition.

On 4 July 2004 he was loaned to Millwall for the entirety of the 2004-05 season and went to Reading on loan at the start of the 2005-06 season. He joined Reading permanently on 30 December 2005 on a contract that will keep him at the club until the summer of 2008. During that season, he made four appearances in the League Cup and three in the FA Cup. Stack signed a 3 month loan deal with Championship side Leeds United on 27 October 2006.
