Grant had managed just one win in his last five games in charge, with Huddersfield currently sat sixth in League One.
Huddersfield owner and chairman Kevin Nagle said in a club statement: “Entering this season with renewed optimism and hope having proactively reshaped our first team throughout the summer, we were clear about not only our ambitions but how we wanted to achieve them, and the type of team on the pitch we wanted to enjoy alongside our supporters.
“Sadly, on current form, none of those objectives are being met, and with just under half of the season remaining we feel no other option but to make a change to put the side back on track.
“I would like to thank Lee for his efforts and wish him nothing but the best for his future career.
“Our previously stated aims and desires for the season remain the same, and we will be making a change with those ambitions still firmly in mind.”
The Yorkshire club have announced that sporting director Chris Markham will lead the recruitment process to appoint a successor.
