Walter A. "Pud" Graham (October 2, 1936 – December 3, 2011)[1] was a state legislator in Mississippi.[2] He served in the Mississippi State Senate, including as president pro tempore from 1993 to 1996.[3] He lived in New Albany, Mississippi.[3]

A Democrat, he eventually became a Republican. Democrat Nickey Browning from Pontotoc succeeded him in the state senate after he chose to run for Agriculture commissioner instead of for re-election.[3]
