Grimsby Thursday FC is a football (soccer) club within the Isselmere-Nielander Football Association (INFA)'s First Division. The club's grounds are at Maccleuch Park, Havermere Road, Grimsby Downs, Anguist, Isselmere-Nieland, where they have been since 1946. The club's popular name is "The Terns".

Grimsby Thursday gains its name from having to play on Thursday so that the common pitch at Union Park in Grimsby Downs would be free for the Grimsby Athletic Association RFC to play on Saturday. Since Thursday's departure from Union Park, the club has ever been in the top flight of the First Division and has won the league six times running and the INFA Cup three times in the past seven years.
