Roger A. Graham (June 12, 1885 – October 25, 1938) was an influential American lyricist, composer, singer, and music publisher active during the early 20th century. Born in Providence, Rhode Island, Graham's career spanned from 1906 to 1920, a period that saw the rise of Tin Pan Alley, the Jazz Age, and the silent film era. He was particularly known for his contributions to vaudeville, burlesque, and blues music.

Graham's work as a lyricist and publisher brought him into close contact with prominent figures of the time, including George M. Cohan, Sophie Tucker, and Al Jolson. Despite his early success, Graham's career waned after 1920, leading him to leave the music industry in 1921 to work as a department manager at Mandell Brothers, a department store.

A notable episode in Graham's career was his involvement in a federal court case concerning the publication of "Livery Stable Blues," a piece credited to Alcide Nunez and Ray Lopez, and recorded by the Original Dixieland Jass Band. This recording is recognized as the first commercially recorded jazz piece. Graham was acquitted of piracy charges in the case, as the court ruled that the blues could not be copyrighted.

Graham's later years were marked by personal decline, and he died in 1938 in Chicago, Illinois, alone and impoverished. His death might have gone unnoticed if not for an alert morgue attendant who contacted his sister and ex-wife. His life and work, particularly his melancholic lyrics like those in "I Ain't Got Nobody," seemed to presage his own lonely end.
