Graham E. Hamer[1] is a former New Zealand rugby union coach.

Hamer started his senior coaching career with the Kia Toa club in 1973.[2]

He then notably coached the Manawatu provincial side to their only Ranfurly Shield reign (between 1976 and 1977) as well as winning the only first division in the union's history (1980).[3]

A trophy dedicated to Hamer, the Graham Hamer Trophy, is competed for at the Central Region sevens annually.[4]
