"Meet the Grahams" is a diss track by American rapper Kendrick Lamar. It was released on May 3, 2024, through Interscope Records, during his ongoing feud with Canadian rapper Drake. It is Lamar's response to the release of Drake's "Family Matters," a diss track mainly aimed at Lamar.

"Meet the Grahams" is written in the form of a letter, with each verse addressed to members of Drake's family, including his son Adonis, his parents Sandra and Dennis Graham, his alleged daughter, and Drake himself. In the song, Lamar accuses Drake of being a non-present father, signing sex offenders to his OVO Sound record label, and being a sexual predator himself. He also alleges that Drake is running a sex trafficking ring out of his Toronto mansion, saying it will soon be raided by law enforcement. Lamar further accuses Drake of lying about his family, his OVO Sound labelmates, and Drake himself.

"Meet the Grahams" received widespread critical acclaim for its lyrical content, storytelling, dark tone, the simple production and Lamar's vocal performance, earning praise from both critics and audiences alike. The song was particularly noted for its brutally great response to "Family Matters", offering a raw and unfiltered take on family life, with some even comparing its cultural impact to "The Story of Adidon" by Pusha T; a diss track also targeted towards Drake.
