Grahams Beach is a rural settlement on the northern tip of the Āwhitu Peninsula and south coast of the Manukau Harbour in the Auckland Region of New Zealand. The settlement as described by Statistics New Zealand also includes Big Bay.
Once known as Graham's Beach, it was on a ferry route between Waiuku and Onehunga in 1895. A wharf was built in about 1903. A primary school flourished in Graham's Beach around 1927. It closed in 1949 when rural schools in the area were consolidated to Awhitu District School.
