Ann Mary Gwynne Grant (nee Fletcher, born 6 May 1955) is a former field hockey player from Zimbabwe who was a member of the national team that won the gold medal at the 1980 Summer Olympics in Moscow. Her English Wikipedia biography describes her as the captain of the side, while Olympedia names her teammate Anthea Stewart as captain and coach. The women's tournament was reduced by the Western boycott, and Zimbabwe, invited late and assembled in a matter of weeks, won the event and the only medal the country took home from those Games. Grant played in all five of Zimbabwe's matches. She is the sister of Duncan Fletcher, the former Zimbabwe cricketer who later coached England and India.
