Graham Whitehead (born in Harrogate, April 15, 1922 - died in Lower Basildon, Berkshire, January 15, 1981) was a British racing driver from England. He participated in one Formula One World Championship Grand Prix, on July 19, 1952. He finished 12th, scoring no championship points. He also competed in several non-Championship Formula One races.

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