Grant Anderson is a former weightlifter and Highland Games competitor from Scotland.

He then began to compete as a Highland Games specialist against his namesake, but no relation, Bill Anderson.

[2] In 1979 he competed in the first ever Britain's Strongest Man, won by Geoff Capes, nominally as a well-known name on the Highland Games circuit than for his prowess as a weightlifter.

The following year, in 1980, he won the inaugural World Highland Games Championships and came third in that event in 1981.

In 1983 he broke Bill Anderson's fourteen-year-old record in the 22 lb hammer throw with a distance of 123 feet 8.5 inches (37.706 m).
