Graham Anthony Richard Lock (5 July 1929 – 30 March 1995)^[1] was an English cricketer, who played primarily as a left-arm spinner. He played in 49 Test matches for England taking 174 wickets.^[2]

His tally of 831 catches in first-class cricket, mostly taken at short leg, lies behind only W.G. Grace and Frank Woolley.
