Robert Ranke Graves (Wimbledon, Londres, 24 juillet 1895 – Deia (île de Majorque, Espagne) 6 décembre 1985) est un poète et romancier britannique.

Il est surtout connu pour sa biographie historique Moi, Claude.

Il a aussi publié en 1929 ses souvenirs de la Première Guerre mondiale, goodbye to all that.

Sa connaissance des mythes européens lui permit de rédiger de nombreux livres, dont deux en particulier ont rencontré un certain succès : la Déesse Blanche (aujourd'hui éditée sous le nom les Mythes celtes) et les Mythes grecs. Toutefois, ce ne sont pas là les oeuvres d'un spécialiste, mais plutôt, de la part d'un lettré, deux tentatives d'interprétation mythologique, sans grande rigueur et versant notamment dans un évhémérisme fantaisiste et scientifiquement intenable.
