Graham Parker (born 18 November 1950) is a British singer-songwriter, who is best known as the lead singer of the popular British band Graham Parker & the Rumour.

Despite only moderate commercial success, Parker's energetic performances - along with the wittily class-conscious spirit of his debut album Howlin' Wind - preceded the arrival of punk rock and new wave music. In addition, his quirky-blue-collar image is often believed to be a major influence on the public persona of many British musicians, most notably Elvis Costello, Paul Weller and Joe Jackson.

An official Graham Parker and The Rumour live album, The Parkerilla, issued in 1978, saw Parker in a creative holding pattern. Three sides were live, with no new songs and with versions of previously released songs. Side four was devoted to a "disco" remake of "Hey Lord, Don't Ask Me Questions". In 1991, Rolling Stone ranked The Parkerilla number 64 on its list of 100 greatest album covers.
