We present a unified description of the quantum Hall effect in graphene on the basis of the 8-component Dirac Hamiltonian and the supersymmetric (SUSY) quantum mechanics. It is remarkable that the zero-energy state emerges because the Zeeman splitting is exactly as large as the Landau level separation, as implies that the SUSY is a good symmetry. For nonzero energy states, the up-spin state and the down-spin state form a supermultiplet possessing the spin SU(2) symmetry. We extend the Dirac Hamiltonian to include two indices $j_{\uparrow}$ and $j_{\downarrow}$, characterized by the dispersion relation $E(p) \propto p^{j_{\uparrow}+j_{\downarrow}}$ and the Berry phase $\pi (j_{\uparrow}-j_{\downarrow})$. The quantized Hall conductivity is shown to be $\sigma_{xy}=\pm (2n+j_{\uparrow}+j_{\downarrow}) 2e^{2}/h$.
