Gareth Graham (born 6 December 1978) is a retired Northern Irish football midfielder and right back. He began his career in the Football League at Crystal Palace, before transferring to Brentford in 1999. Upon his release from Brentford, Graham embarked on a nomadic career in non-league football. He represented Northern Ireland U21 at international level. He is known by the nickname "Ginge".
Graham began his career in the youth system at Crystal Palace, signing trainee forms in 1996. He reached the final of the FA Youth Cup and won the Southern Junior Floodlit Cup with the youth team during the 1996–97 season. He also made his debut for the reserves. Graham signed his first professional contract in March 1997 and broke into the reserve team during the early part of the 1997–98 season. Graham and teammate Michael Fowler scored Palace's first goals on the opening day of the inaugural season of the FA Premier Youth League in a 2–1 victory over Middlesbrough.
A broken leg suffered in a Surrey Senior Cup match for the reserve team in late 1997 hampered Graham's progress. Graham returned to reserve team action early in the 1998–99 season and received his first call into the first team when he was an unused substitute for a 1–0 Division One win over Norwich City on 3 April 1999. Graham made his professional debut away to Watford on 24 April 1999. He came on as a substitute for Steven Thomson after 77 minutes of the 2–1 defeat. Graham failed to receive a call into the first team during the early months of the 1999–00 season and departed the club in October 1999, having made just one first team appearance. He represented Crystal Palace in friendly matches versus Charlton Athletic and Croydon in June 2012 and September 2013 respectively.
