Wayne Desmond Grady (born 26 July 1957) is an Australian golfer.

Grady was born in Brisbane. He turned professional in 1978. He is best known for winning the PGA Championship, one of golf's four majors, in 1990. He was also runner up at The Open Championship in 1989, losing in a playoff against Greg Norman and Mark Calcavecchia.
