Grant Fowler (born 12 March 1957) is a former Australian rules footballer who played with Fitzroy, Essendon and Hawthorn in the Victorian Football League (VFL).

From Trinity Grammar originally, Fowler made his league debut as a 19-year-old in the 1976 VFL season.{{cite book|last=Holmesby|first=Russell|last2=Main|first2=Jim|title=The Encyclopedia of AFL Footballers| publisher=BAS Publishing|year=2007|isbn=978-1-920910-78-5}} A rover, he kicked 18 goals from 12 appearances in 1977.{{cite web|url=http://afltables.com/afl/stats/players/G/Grant_Fowler.html| title=Grant Fowler| publisher=AFL Tables}}
