Grant "Granny" Mulvey (born September 17, 1956 in Sudbury, Ontario and raised in Merritt, British Columbia) is a retired professional ice hockey player who played all but twelve games of his 586-game NHL career with the Chicago Black Hawks.

On February 3, 1982 in a game against the St. Louis Blues, Mulvey scored five goals and added two assists for seven points, setting a franchise record for most goals in a game.In the same game, he tied the record (shared with eleven others) for most goals in single period (4).
Grant has made his home in Chicago while dedicating time to his family, business and the Chicago Blackhawk Alumni Association. He is currently an active board member and Treasurer for the Blackhawk Alumni Association. As with many former athletes in Chicago, Grant values the opportunity to give back to the community by supporting many great charities.
