The Graphic was a British illustrated newspaper, first published on 4 Dec 1869. It continued to be published weekly under this title until 23 April 1932 and then changed title to "The National Graphic" between 28 April and 14 July 1932, it then ceased publication. It had subscribers all around the British Empire and in North America.

"The Graphic" was founded by William Thomas, a wood engraver and social reformer. The first editor was Henry Edwards, and Thomas also recruited a number of gifted artists including Luke Fildres, Hubery von Herkomer, Frank Holl, and John MIllais. "The Graphic" was published on a Saturday and its original cover price was sixpence. In its first year, it described itself to advertisers as "a superior illustrated weekly newspaper, containing twenty-four pages imperial folio, printed on fine toned paper of beautiful quality, made expressly for the purpose and admirably adapted for the display of engravings".

When it started out, the newspaper was printed in a rented house. However it was a rapid success, and by 1882 the company owned three buildings, twenty printing machines and employed over 1,000 people. Artists employed on The Graphic and The Daily Graphic at the end of the 19th century and start of the 20th century included the famous Alexander Boyd, Frank Braugwyn, James Dowd, Phil May, Edmund Sullivan, Sidney Sime, and Bert Thomas..
