Avraham Grant (Hebrew: אַבְרָהָם גְרַנט), (born May 6, 1955 in Petah Tikva) is the Technical Director of Portsmouth Football Club.
Once coach of both Maccabi Tel-Aviv (twice, from 1991-1995 and less successfully from 1997-2000) and Maccabi Haifa F.C. (2000-2002), Grant was formerly the national team coach of Israel, taking the position in May 2002 when he replaced Dane Richard Møller Nielsen. Israel finished third in 2006 World Cup qualifying Group 4 behind winners France and runners-up Switzerland. They were unbeaten in the group, having won four and drew six of their ten matches but it was not enough to take them to the finals. He announced on 26 October 2005 that he would step down when his contract expired in June 2006, and once that date had passed he immediately took up his new position at Portsmouth.
