Grahame Anton Chevalier (born 9 March 1937 in Cape Town) is a former South African cricketer who played in one Test in 1970.[1]

Chevalier was a slow left-arm orthodox spin bowler and a right-handed tail-end batsman. His single Test was the first match of the Australian tour of 1969-70 and he took five wickets in a comprehensive South African victory.[2] But he was dropped for the rest of the series and with South Africa's banishment from international cricket because of apartheid after this series, he did not play Test cricket again. He was selected to tour England in 1970 and Australia in 1971-72, but both tours were cancelled.

He played for Western Province from 1966-67 to 1973-74. His best first-class figures were 7 for 57 against Transvaal in 1970-71.[3] At the end of the same season, playing for Rest of South Africa against Transvaal in a trial match to determine the team to tour Australia the following season, he took 7 for 108 and 3 for 66.[4] A genuine number 11 batsman, in all first-class matches he reached double figures only once.
