  • David de Villiers Graaff, 3de baronet (*3 mei 1940) is een Zuid-Afrikaans zakenman en eigenaar van De Grendel Wine Estate. Sir David de Villiers Graaff is de zoon van wijlen Sir De Villiers Graaff (1913-1999), tijdens een groot deel van de apartheidsperiode fractievoorzitter van de oppositiepartij Verenigde Party. Omdat De Villiers Graaff tijdens de Tweede Wereldoorlog deelnam aan verscheidene campagnes van het Zuid-Afrikaanse leger en van 1942 tot 1945 Italiaans en Duits krijgsgevangene was, zag hij zijn zoon pas in 1945 voor het eerst.
