Ephraim Graham Ponder (1802 to 1874) was an American slave trader. He is best known today for his houses, one of which was a landmark of the Atlanta Campaign of the American Civil War, and one of which is on the National Register of Historic Places for Thomasville, Georgia. One of the people Ponder owned was Festus Flipper, father of Henry Ossian Flipper, the first black man to graduate from the U.S. Military Academy.
