David Grant (born 2 June 1960) is an English former professional football left-back. He played in the Football League, primarily for Sheffield Wednesday and Rochdale.

Born in Sheffield, Grant became an apprentice with Sheffield Wednesday in July 1976, turning professional in February 1978.[3] He progressed to their first team, playing over 100 times. He moved to Oxford United in 1982. Out of favour during the 1983–84 season, Grant had a spell on loan with Chesterfield before joining Cardiff City.
