Franck Grandel (born 17 March 1978) is a Guadeloupean footballer. Currently, he plays for Boulogne on loan from Troyes.
Grandel is a goalkeeper who was born in Pointe-à-Pitre, Guadeloupe, and made his debut in professional football, being part of the Skoda Xanthi squad, in the 2003-04 season. He has also played for Besançon RC, FC Libourne Saint-Seurin and Troyes AC, before joining FC Utrecht, in 2005. Grandel was released from his contract with FC Utrecht in November 2007 (Dutch).
He signed a two-year contract with French Ligue 2 side Dijon FCO just before the 2009 CONCACAF Gold Cup.
During the 2007 CONCACAF Gold Cup, when Guadeloupe surprisingly advanced to the tournament semifinals, Grandel was given top goalkeeper award and was also named to the tournament All-star team. He had to leave the 2009 Gold Cup squad because of injury.
