Graham Arthur Barden (September 25, 1896 – January 29, 1967) was a US representative from North Carolina between 1935 and 1961 for the Democratic Party.

After leaving the navy in 1919, Barden attended the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, where he studied law and was admitted to the bar in 1920.

After briefly practicing law and teaching high school that same year, he became a judge in the Craven County courts, a post he held until 1924.

He was a signatory to the 1956 Southern Manifesto that opposed the desegregation of public schools ordered by the Supreme Court in Brown v. Board of Education.
