Larry Grayson (31 August 1923 – 7 January 1995), born William Sulley White, was an English comedian and television presenter. He hosted the BBC's Saturday night, peak-time, game show The Generation Game in the 1970s and early 1980s, employing his high camp and English music hall humour.

His camp stand-up act consisted mainly of anecdotes about a cast of imaginary friends; including Everard, Apricot Lil and Slack Alice. A museum in his home town of Nuneaton displays his life and work and a memorial has been established.
