Julia Ecklar (born 1964) is an American science fiction author as well as a singer and writer of filk music. Her written works include multiple Star Trek novels, written under her own name as well as the collective pen name L.A. Graf. The pen name L.A. Graf reportedly stands for "Let's All Get Rich And Famous."

Ecklar recorded numerous albums with the Off Centaur label in the early 1980s, including Minus Ten and Counting, Horse-Tamer's Daughter, and Genesis. Her Divine Intervention album, released in 1986, was the first filk genre release to combine orchestral and progressive rock arrangements.

Ecklar's 2013 album, Horsetamer (produced by Michael Moricz), was her first solo album in 25 years.
