Graham Stokes (22 March 1858 19 December 1921) was an English cricketer active in first-class cricket in the early 1880s.

He was born at Greenwich, Kent, the son of Henry Graham Stokes, Proctor to the Admiralty[1] and solicitor, and his wife Elizabeth Sewell. A batsman of unknown handedness, Stokes made his first-class debut for Kent against Surrey in 1880. He made three further first-class appearances in 1851, against Derbyshire, Lancashire, and Surrey.[2] Stokes scored 39 runs in his four matches, with a top score of 27.[3]

Outside of cricket he worked as a solicitor.[4] He died at Blackheath, London on 19 December 1921. His brothers Frederick and Lennard both played international rugby union for England, as well as also playing first-class cricket.[4]
