Grant Holt (born 12 April 1981) is an English footballer who plays for Wigan Athletic. He plays as a striker.

Holt played for a number of non-league and professional clubs, notably making nearly 100 league appearances for Nottingham Forest before signing for Shrewsbury Town in 2008 where he became top goalscorer, from Shrewsbury he signed for Norwich in 2009.
