Jenn Grant (born 1980) is a Canadian pop singer-songwriter based in Halifax, Nova Scotia.
Born on Prince Edward Island, she moved to Halifax with her mother and brother at age ten, and has been performing and recording there since 2004. She collaborated on her debut album, Orchestra for the Moon, with such artists as Ron Sexsmith, the Heavy Blinkers, Matt Mays and Jill Barber. She has toured Germany and Canada in support of her release, including as an opening act for The Weakerthans.
Canadian music critics have hailed the album as a contender for album of the year, with comparisons made to Feist, Sarah Harmer, and Martha Wainwright.

Jenn Grant's song "Dreamer" from Orchestra for the Moon is featured as the theme song on CBC's Heartland.
