Graham Willey (born 19 July 1933) is a former Australian rules footballer who played with Essendon in the Victorian Football League (VFL).
Willey, who was a student at Scotch College, made his debut for Essendon in 1955, while on a permit from Redan.[1] That year he won the Best and Fairest award in the Ballarat Football League. He joined the club full-time in 1956 and kicked 33 goals from 16 games, to top Essendon's goal-kicking.[2]
His work as a metallurgist brought him to Broken Hill in 1957 and he played with the North Broken Hill Football Club until 1960. He coached South Broken Hill to a premiership in 1962.[3]
