Karlan Laughton Ahearne-Grant (born 18 September 1997) is an English footballer who plays as a forward for Charlton Athletic.
Ahearne-Grant was top scorer for Charlton Athletic U18s during the 2012–13 and 2013–14 seasons while still a schoolboy. Less than a week after his 17th birthday, on 23 September 2014, Grant signed a 3-year contract with Charlton. He made his professional debut shortly after on 30 September 2014, as an 89th-minute substitute in a 1–0 victory against Norwich City. He later made his first start on 18 October 2014 in a 1–0 loss against AFC Bournemouth. He scored his first competitive goal for the Addicks first team in a 4–1 Football League Cup win over Dagenham & Redbridge. On 26 September, he scored his first league goal for Charlton in a 2-1 loss to Cardiff City.
In February 2014 Grant represented England U17 in the Algarve tournament. On 6 November 2014 Grant was called up to the England U18 squad for a double header against Poland.
