Anthony Grant, D.C.L. (31 January 1806 – 25 November 1883 in Ramsgate) was an English clergyman and divine. LifeGrant was youngest son of Thomas Grant of Portsea, Portsmouth. He was born 31 January 1806, was sent to Winchester College in 1815, and on 17 February 1825 matriculated as a scholar of New College, Oxford, becoming fellow in 1827. As a member of this college Grant did not go out in the university class lists, but he obtained the chancellor's Latin essay in 1830, and the Ellerton theological prize essay in 1832. He proceeded B.C.L. in 1832, and D.C.L. 1842.

In 1843 he was Bampton lecturer at Oxford University, and delivered a course entitled The Past and Prospective Extension of the Gospel by Missions to the Heathen, London, 1844. These lectures created a powerful impression, and their publication marks an epoch in the history of mission work. In 1846 Grant was made archdeacon of St. Albans, and the archdeaconry of Rochester was annexed to it in 1863; in 1852 and 1861 he was select preacher at Oxford; in 1860 he became canon of Rochester Cathedral, and in 1877 chaplain to the bishop of St. Albans.
