Claude Gravelle is a Canadian politician.
A retired machinist and union organizer at Inco's mining operations in Sudbury, Gravelle first entered politics in 1997 on the town council of Rayside-Balfour. He did not run for re-election to Greater Sudbury City Council following the municipal amalgamation of 2000, but became co-chair of the Rayside-Balfour Community Action Network.
Gravelle ran as the federal New Democratic Party candidate in Nickel Belt in the 2004 and 2006 federal elections, losing narrowly to incumbent MP Ray Bonin both times. He has been nominated again in the next election.
