Elliot Grandin (born 17 October 1987) is a French footballer.
A winger, Grandin can also play as a central attacking midfielder. He previously played in France for Caen, Marseille and a loan spell at Grenoble, as well as in Bulgaria for CSKA Sofia.
He has played for France at under-21 level.
Grandin began his career at his hometown club, SM Caen. He made his debut for the first team in the 2004–05 season, making just one substitute appearance, on 28 May 2005 in a 3–2 defeat to Istres as Caen were relegated from Ligue 1 to Ligue 2. In the 2005–06 season Caen finished fourth in Ligue 2, missing out on promotion to Ligue 1 on goal difference. Grandin made a total of nineteen league appearances, scoring three goals.
The following season he was part of the Caen squad that finished as runners-up and won promotion to Ligue 1. He made 23 appearances, scoring twice. In the 2007–08 season he made twelve appearances, scoring one goal.
He made a total of 58 league appearances for Caen, scoring nine goals.
On 28 January 2008, midway through the 2007–08 season, Grandin joined Marseille for €400,000. His debut came on 9 February in a 2–0 win at Nice. That season he made eight league appearances, most of them as a substitute. In his first match against AS Monaco in the last 16 of the Coupe de France, he made an assist for the second goal scored by Mathieu Valbuena. On 17 May, the last day of the season against Strasbourg, he came on as a substitute after an injury to striker Mamadou Niang, and sent his pass set up to Nasri to score as Marseille won 4-3 and so qualified for the preliminary round of the Champions League.
