St Grellan's Gaelic Football Club (Irish: Cumann Peile Ghrealláin Naofa) was a Gaelic Athletic Association club based in Ballinasloe, County Galway, Ireland.

The team was named in honour of Saint Grellan, patron saint of Ballinasloe.

St Grellan's GFC were the first club to win a record seven Galway county football titles in a row from 1913 to 1919 and were undefeated in the county championship from 1913 to 1930. In 1980, they were also the first Galway Club to reach an All-Ireland Senior Club Football Championship in 1980.

On 1 December 2005, St Grellan's merged with Ballinasloe Hurling Club to form Ballinasloe GAA.
