  • Charles Grant (* 5.jul. / 16. April 1746greg. in , Inverness-shire, Schottland; † 31. Oktober 1823 in London) war ein britischer (Handels-)Politiker evangelikaler Prägung, der sich stark für die protestantische Missionierung Britisch-Indiens einsetzte. Er verknüpfte nationalpolitische Inhalte mit christlich-humanitären und betonte die Regierungspflicht („good government“) der Briten in Indien, die durch die Britische Ostindien-Kompanie, eine Handelsgesellschaft (!), vertreten wurde. Er verlangte, die Politik der bis dahin offiziell vertretenen „Nicht-Einmischung“ aufzugeben. (de)
