Richard Grant (August 3, 1870 – January 9, 1958) was a Canadian track and field athlete who competed at the 1900 Summer Olympics in Paris, France for the United States. He also competed in the first four Boston Marathons, one of only two athletes (the other being Lawrence Bragnolia) to have done so. In later life he lived in Habana, Cuba and wrote the words and music (with the collaboration of others) to several Presbyterian hymns.
