Graham Cyril Kennedy (15 February 1934-25 May 2005) was an Australian radio, television and film performer.

Kennedy was born in Melbourne and grew up in suburban Balaclava. He was educated at Caulfield North Central School and then Melbourne High School. His parents divorced shortly before World War II, and he was raised by his grandmother. He left school early, working first as a news runner for the Australian Broadcasting Commission on their Radio Australia shortwave service.
