A graph reduction machine is a special-purpose computer built to perform combinator calculations by graph reduction.

Examples include the SKIM ("S-K-I machine") computer, built at the University of Cambridge Computer Laboratory, and the multiprocessor GRIP ("Graph Reduction In Parallel") computer, built at University College London.[1] Another example is the Reduceron, a graph reduction machine, purpose built for Haskell, implemented on an FPGA.[2][3]
