Graeme Arthur Powell (born 2 January 1947) is a New Zealand former cricketer. He played 19 first-class and 12 List A matches, all but one for the Otago cricket team between 1969–70 and 1977–78.[1] He was born at Dunedin in 1947.[2]

Primarily a right-arm fast-medium opening bowler, Powell played for Otago under-20s in the 1966–67 Brabin Tournament. He made his first-class debut against Canterbury at Lancaster Park in January 1970 before playing for the provincial under-23 side later the same month. Later in the season he played for New Zealand under-23s, including in a first-class fixture against the touring Australians, taking the wickets of both Australian opening batsmen.[3] He made his List A debut the following season, playing for Otago against the touring England side.[a][3] In total Powell took 48 first-class and 18 List A wickets, with best bowling figures of 5/45.[1]
