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.[1] A rover, he kicked 18 goals from 12 appearances in 1977.[2]

He made his way to Essendon in 1980 and was a regular member of the team in his first three seasons, which included participation in a night premiership.[3]

Fowler briefly retired in 1983 due to his work commitments and saw out the season at Hawthorn after getting a clearance late in the year. He added just one further game in 1984, his 100th VFL appearance.
