Graeme Robert McDougall (born 21 November 1946), Australian politician, is the former Liberal Party of Australia member of the House of Representatives for the electorate of Griffith in Queensland from 2 March 1996 to 13 October 1998.

Born in New South Wales, McDougall was a small businessman and alderman for the Brisbane City Council. [ [http://www.abc.net.au/election98/news/issues/issqld.htm Election 98 - State by State] , Australian Broadcasting Corporation.] He entered parliament when he defeated the Australian Labor Party candidate, Kevin Rudd, for the seat of Griffith at the 1996 federal election. Rudd, who would later go on to become leader of the ALP and eventually Prime Minister, successfully re-contested Griffith in the 1998 election.
