Grugliasco (Italian: [ɡruʎˈʎasko]; Piedmontese: Grujasch [ɡryˈjɑsk] ) is a comune (municipality) in the Metropolitan City of Turin in the Italian region of Piedmont, located about 9 kilometres (6 miles) west of Turin.

Grugliasco borders the municipalities of Turin, Collegno, and Rivoli. In 1945 here and in Collegno members of the retreating German 34th Infantry Division and 5th Mountain Division killed 68 civilians in retaliation for a partisan ambush.
