Lennox Grafton (3 December 1919 – 24 March 2017) was a Canadian architect and one of the first women to be trained as architects in Canada. She completed her undergraduate education in University of Alberta between 1938 and1941 and graduated from the architectural program in University of Toronto in 1950. Grafton's early works during the same decade focused on schools, churches, and commercial building. These works were complete while she worked in several of Toronto architectural firms. In 1960, she started her own architectural practice in Arnprior, Ontario. Work in the office included McNab Township offices, church hall, school in March Township and residential work. She closed the office in 1963 due to the lack of available funding to scale the business to acquire larger projects, and started teaching secondary school home economics.
