Graeme Lucian Phillip Jennings (born 1968) is an Australian classical violinist and music educator.

He has performed with the Elision Ensemble and Arditti Quartet.[1] Jennings' 2005 performance of Brian Ferneyhough's violin concertante Terrain, was described as "transfixing either as a display of fiddling pyrotechnics, or as an exercise in mind-bending mathematics, or as a lovingly crafted exploration of gestures".[2] In 2017, he performed Elliot Carter's Duo for Violin and Piano in Hobart, a piece so difficult Jennings was only one of a handful of violinists in the world who could play it.[3]
