You can simply calculate the number of non-zero elements relative to total elements in the adjacency matrix:
nnz(adjacency(G))./numel(adjacency(G))

You can use the numnodes and numedges functions on a graph or digraph to get the numbers of nodes or edges respectively.

Great, thanks. So this one works too:
%http://reference.wolfram.com/language/ref/GraphDensity.html
graph_density = numedges(G)/numnodes(G) /(numnodes(G) -1)*2 %factor 2 for undirected, factor 1 for directed
