Walter E. Grauman (born March 17, 1922 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin) is an American director of stage shows, theatrical films and television shows.

Grauman lived in Wisconsin and in Arizona as a child before moving to California, he served for 4 years in the United States Air Force (then called the Army Air Corps) before returning home and taking a job as stage manager at a Los Angeles television network. In 1957, Grauman turned to films, directing "The Disembodied" for the "B film" division of Allied Artists Studios, which was headed by friend Walter Mirisch. Although he directed only five theatrical films, Grauman had one of the most active and long lasting television careers in history which included work on such shows as "The Fugitive", "Route 66", "The Streets of San Francisco" and "The Twilght Zone". He also reportedly helped to get Michael Douglas one of his first jobs as a lead on "The Streets of San Francisco".

Grauman is among the closest living realitives to Sid Grauman, owner and founder of Los Angeles' famous Grauman's Chinese Theater, Egyptian Theater and Million Dollar Theater. He now resides in Los Angeles with his wife.
