St Grellan's Gaelic Football Club (Irish: Cumann Peile Ghrealláin Naofa) was a Gaelic Athletic Association club based in Ballinasloe, County Galway, Ireland.[1]
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.
