Graham de Conde Gund (born 1940) is an American architect and the president of the Gund Partnership, an American architecture firm based in Cambridge, Massachusetts, and founded by Gund in 1971. An heir to George Gund II, he is also a collector of contemporary art, whose collection has been widely exhibited and published.

A native of Cleveland, Ohio where he was born in 1940,[2] Gund was educated at Westminster School (Connecticut), Kenyon College, and the Rhode Island School of Design. Gund graduated from the Harvard University Graduate School of Design, with a Master of Architecture degree in 1968 and a Master of Urban Design degree in 1969. Graham Gund is one of six children of George Gund II, former chairman of the Cleveland Trust Company, philanthropist and namesake for the Graduate School of Design's George Gund Hall, completed in 1971. His siblings are George III b. 1937; Agnes b. 1938; Gordon b. 1939; Geoffrey b.1942; Louise b. 1944.[3][4]

After graduation, Gund worked at The Architects' Collaborative in Cambridge, Massachusetts.[5] Gund himself undertook property development for a number of his firm's projects. He is also a noted collector of art.[6][7] Gund funded the Gund Gallery at the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston.[8][9] Gund was also the driving force behind the founding of the Gund Gallery at Kenyon College. He designed the museum's building, a LEED Silver-certified project that garnered multiple architectural awards.[10] With his wife Ann, he gave a substantial gift of over 80 modern and contemporary artworks to start the museum's permanent collection.[11]
