Graham Usher (born 14 June 1973) is an English professional darts player who competes in World Seniors Darts (WSD) and Professional Darts Corporation (PDC) events. He formerly competed in British Darts Organisation (BDO) and World Darts Federation (WDF) events. He finished as the runner-up at the 2025 World Seniors Championship.

Usher participated in the 2019 World Masters, [3] where he reached the quarter-finals but lost there to Mario Vandenbogaerde 4–2 in sets. [4]
In 2020, 2021 and 2022 consequently, he took his part in PDC Q-School three times, but failed to get a Tour Card. In these years he played on the Challenge Tour.
