Maurice Graham (12 August 1902 – 26 February 1993) was a New Zealand cricketer. He played in nine first-class matches for Canterbury between 1934 and 1937.[1]
Graham was born in Leeston on the Canterbury Plains south of Christchurch and educated at Christchurch Boys' High School.[2] He made his first-class debut in 1934–35, forming an effective pace attack with Stan Andrews and Alby Roberts to help Canterbury win the Plunket Shield. In the final match, against Otago, he took 5 for 76 and 4 for 50.[3] He played a few more matches in the next two seasons but was less effective.[4]
Graham married Doreen de Rosier Cook in Christchurch in May 1943.[5] He served as a lance-bombardier with the New Zealand Artillery in World War II.[6] He died in Christchurch in February 1993.[7]
