John Graham, 7th of Claverhouse, 1st Viscount Dundee (21 July 1648 – 27 July 1689) was a Scottish soldier and nobleman, a Tory and an Episcopalian. As Graham of Claverhouse, he was responsible for policing southwest Scotland to suppress religious unrest and rebellion of Covenanters during the late 17th century.

Later, as a general in the Scottish army, Claverhouse was made Viscount Dundee by King James VII of Scotland (II of England), and remained loyal to James after the Revolution of 1688 deposed James. Dundee rallied Highland clans loyal to the Jacobite cause and led the Jacobite rising of 1689 to victory at Killiecrankie, but lost his life in the battle. This first Jacobite rising was unsuccessful, but Claverhouse posthumously was made a Jacobite hero, acquiring the soubriquet "Bonnie Dundee".
