Graham Briggs (born 14 July 1983) is a British professional road racing cyclist, currently a member of JLT–Condor.

Born in Rossington, Doncaster, South Yorkshire, Briggs initially played football as a youngster before switching to cycling, initially off-road as a cyclo-cross rider and then the discipline of mountain biking, until the foot and mouth crisis of 2001. The majority of his road racing career has been spent in city centre competitions leading to successes in the Elite Circuit Race Series in recent years. He is a member of the "Donny Chain Gang", a training group of some the best northern riders such as Olympic Champion Ed Clancy, Ben Swift and Russell Downing.

Briggs is classed as a sprinter and was the winner of the British National Circuit Race Championships in 2011.

Briggs left Team Raleigh at the end of the 2013 season, and joined Rapha Condor–JLT for the 2014 season; his third spell with the latter squad.
