In [[mathematics]], especially in the fields of [[universal algebra]] and [[graph theory]], a '''graph algebra''' is a way of giving a [[directed graph]] an [[algebraic structure]]. It was introduced in {{harv|McNulty|Shannon|1983}}, and has seen many uses in the field of universal algebra since then.
