Joshua Mario "Josh" Gracin (born October 18, 1980) is a country music singer. A former member of the United States Marine Corps, he first gained public attention as the fourth-place finalist on the second season of the Fox Networks talent competition American Idol.

After his elimination from the show, Gracin completed his service in the Marine Corps and after his honorable discharge, he signed a record deal with Lyric Street Records. His self-titled debut album was released in 2004. It produced a Number One hit, "Nothin' to Lose", and two more Top Five hits on the Billboard Hot Country Songs charts and was certified gold by the Recording Industry Association of America. His second album, We Weren't Crazy, followed in 2008. This album also produced five more chart singles, including a Top Ten in its title track.
