Daniel Peter Graves (born August 7, 1973) is a Vietnamese-born American former professional baseball player and current baseball analyst. He played in Major League Baseball (MLB) as a right-handed pitcher from 1996 to 2006, most prominently as a member of the Cincinnati Reds where he was their primary relief pitcher for five seasons and became the franchise's all-time leader in career saves. A two-time National League All-Star, Graves was the winner of the 2002 Lou Gehrig Memorial Award. Graves also pitched for the Cleveland Indians and the New York Mets.

Born to a Vietnamese mother and an American serviceman father, Graves is the only Vietnam-born player in Major League history and one of the few American players of Vietnamese descent.
