Wrexham Grosvenor Football Club was a Welsh football club based in Wrexham, who played in the Welsh Cup in the 1879–80 and 1880–81 seasons. The football club are first mentioned in 1876, however a cricket club of the same name existed at least a year earlier.

In 1877 at a meeting held at The Walnut Tree, Wrexham, Mr F Jones was selected as club captain, with Mr J Grant as vice-captain.[1] The following year Mr T Jones was captain, with Mr E Hopkins as vice-captain.[2]

The club are last mentioned in 1893, and are presumed to have folded around this time. They played their home fixtures at Mr Snape's Field, Chester Road, Wrexham.[3][4]
