Carlisle D. Graham (December 1850 – May 3, 1909) was an American athlete, famous for surviving several journeys through the rapids at Niagara Falls in a barrel, as well as by swimming. Described as the "Nero of Niagara", Graham made his journeys at risk to his own life, on one occasion being hit by a large wave and losing the use of his ear. He was described as being "tall, well built and active" by the age of 57, at which time he was a widower. He died on May 3, 1909 at the home of his sister from a cold and was buried in Oakwood Cemetery.

has abstract	Carlisle D. Graham (December 1850 – May 3, 1909) was an American athlete, famous for surviving several journeys through the rapids at Niagara Falls in a barrel, as well as by swimming. Described as the "Nero of Niagara", Graham made his journeys at risk to his own life, on one occasion being hit by a large wave and losing the use of his ear. Graham made his first attempt in 1886, after he desired to follow in the footsteps of Captain Matthew Webb who had died several years prior while trying to swim the whirlpool. He succeeded in going over the falls in 1889, commenting that he "felt like a man who has passed into the painless portion of a death by drowning." Graham's attempts were typically witnessed by large crowds and he would also engage in athletic challenges with other athletes, such as with champion diver Tommy Burns in England. He was described as being "tall, well built and active" by the age of 57, at which time he was a widower. He died on May 3, 1909 at the home of his sister from a cold and was buried in Oakwood Cemetery. (en)
