Stanford Graphics is a discontinued presentation and data analysis application for Windows.

It was originally developed by 3-D Visions. 3-D Visions was acquired by Visual Numerics in 1993. Visual Numerics was acquired by Rogue Wave Software in 2009. Rogue Wave Software was acquired by Perforce in 2019.

Its name seems to be a play on Harvard Graphics, a competing product. It does not seem to be associated with Stanford University.
