Grant Burgess, born in 1960, is a male English international lawn bowler. He came to prominence in 1987 when he won his first national title with the Worcester County Ground Bowls Club in the triples, alongside Mark Weaver and John Weaver. His most successful year was 1998, when he won the national singles title bowling for the Gilt Edge Bowls Club of Worcestershire, which earned him a place in the England fours at the 1998 Commonwealth Games in Kuala Lumpur, where his team finished third in their group and just missed a bronze medal. He later won the men's senior singles national title in 2016 and 2021 while bowling for Chester Road, his third and fourth national titles.
