Peter Graham RA (Edinburgh March 13, 1836 – October 18, 1921) was a Scottish landscape painter.

Peter Graham studied portrait painting at the Trustees' Academy Edinburgh under Robert Scott Lauder until 1859. He then lived in his hometown for a few more years and turned to landscape painting during this time. In 1866 he finally moved to London, where he carried out many commissions for Queen Victoria. A candidate since 1877, he became a full member of the Royal Academy of Arts in 1881.[1] Graham preferred the romantic scenes of the Scottish highlands, often with livestock, and views of rocky shores in dull, foggy weather. His effective pictures enjoyed great popularity and found many interested parties; they were also distributed as prints. Graham paid great attention to detail in his depictions and even kept some Highland cattle on the grounds of his Buckinghamshire country home for use as models. One of his best-known works was the picture "High Water in the Highlands", with which he was represented for the first time in an exhibition at the Royal Academy in 1866.
