Wim Dijkgraaf (* 4. Oktober 1970 in Apeldoorn) ist ein niederländischer Mundharmonikaspieler des Modern Jazz, der auch Komponist ist.

Dijkgraaf, der nicht mit dem gleichnamigen Bassisten zu verwechseln ist, spielte als Kind Orgel; dann kamen Klarinette und Posaune hinzu. Nach der Schule studierte er Komposition und zeitgenössische Musik auf dem Konservatorium in Tilburg bei Alexandru Hrisanide. Zu dieser Zeit entdeckte er die Harmonika, zunächst von Toots Thielemans beeinflusst. Er war sowohl als Komponist als auch Jazzsolist in Europa und zunehmend auch in Brasilien aktiv. 2008 zog er nach Ceará; seit 2011 lebt er in Rio de Janeiro.
