George Frederick "Peaches" Graham (March 23, 1877 – July 25, 1939) was a baseball catcher for the Cleveland Bronchos, Chicago Cubs, Boston Doves/Rustlers, and Philadelphia Phillies.

Born in Aledo, Illinois, Graham played seven seasons of Major League Baseball over the span of eleven years. He debuted in {{Baseball year|1902}} with the Bronchos as a second baseman, and came back in {{Baseball year|1903}} with the Cubs as a pitcher, but only pitched in one game, a loss.{{cite web |url=http://www.baseball-almanac.com/players/player.php?p=grahape01 |title=Peaches Graham Baseball Stats by Baseball Almanac |work= Baseball Almanac |accessdate=2008-08-17}} After a five-year hiatus, Graham returned in 1908 as a utility player with the Braves. He started games as a catcher, second baseman, outfielder, third baseman, and shortstop, but was predominantly a catcher. Graham was traded mid-season {{Baseball year|1911}} to the Cubs, but only played there for three months before being traded for Dick Cotter to Philadelphia, where he would finish his major league career after the {{Baseball year|1912}} season at the age of thirty-five.{{cite web |url=http://www.thebaseballcube.com/players/G/peaches-graham.shtml |title=Peaches Graham statistics |work= The Baseball Cube |accessdate=2008-08-17}}
