Grant Izzard (born in Penrith, New South Wales) was an Australian rugby league player for the Penrith Panthers and the Illawarra Steelers in the New South Wales Rugby League competition in Australia. His position of choice was at centre and he is also the younger brother of rugby league player Craig Izzard.

Izzard was a Penrith local junior who followed in the footsteps of his older brother but lack of opportunity at his home club meant that he was forced to move on eventually signing with the Illawarra Steelers in 1993. The beginning of a new season at his new club looked promising until he was cited for biting an opposition player and was subsequently suspended and failed to regain his form or position in the first grade side.
