[[Lieutenant-general (United Kingdom)|Lieutenant General]] '''Sir Gerald Graham''', {{postnominals|country=GBR|size=100%|sep=,|VC|GCB|GCMG}} (27 June 1831 – 17 December 1899) was a senior [[British Army]] commander in the late 19th century and an English recipient of the [[Victoria Cross]], the highest award for gallantry in the face of the enemy that can be awarded to British and [[Commonwealth of Nations|Commonwealth]] forces.

As an officer of the [[Royal Engineers]], he served in the [[Crimean War]], China, Canada, and Africa — including as a [[Brigadier General]] in the [[Anglo-Egyptian War]] and as commander of the [[Suakin Expedition]] against [[Mahdist Sudan]] in 1884–85.

In February 1884, Graham accompanied his close friend and colleague [[Charles George Gordon]] up the Nile to Gordon's disembarkation at [[Korosko]], making Graham one of the last Englishmen to see Gordon alive before he set out across the [[Nubian Desert]] on his fateful [[Siege of Khartoum|mission to Khartoum]]. In 1887 Graham commemorated Gordon, reflecting on his life, character, and the context of the [[Mahdist War]], in a publication entitled “Last Words with Gordon”.
