Conus grahami is a species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Conidae, the cone snails and their allies.[2]
Like all species within the genus Conus, these snails are predatory and venomous. They are capable of "stinging" humans, therefore live ones should be handled carefully or not at all.
The following two subspecies of Conus grahami are recognized by the World Register of Marine Species:[2]

- Conus grahami luziensis Rolán, Röckel & Monteiro, 1983: accepted
