A graph is an image representing a mathematical concept, such as the relationship between a set of linked objects, or that of a set of points and the function operating on those points.

A data chart is an image which visually presents the relationship between two data sets, one of which may or may not be a function of the other. There is some overlap, as a particular graph can also be a data chart.

For example, a plotting of the parabola defined by the function y=x2 is a graph. A plotting of the variable curve defined by the number of animals in a region vs. the amount of available food is a data chart. And a plotting of the logarithmically-curved line showing how the mass of stars relates to their age could very well be both.
