I Grave Digger sono un gruppo musicale heavy metal tedesco fondato nel 1980 da Chris Boltendahl.

Il sound del gruppo è contraddistinto da temi cupi, dalla voce di carta vetrata di Boltendahl, dalla grande velocità di esecuzione e dal suono allo stesso tempo ruvido e melodico. Nel mondo, i Grave Digger sono una delle band tedesche più prolifiche, ma anche una delle più sottovalutate, che ha contribuito in maniera determinante all'accrescimento della scena metal.
