FC Terek Grozny (Chechen: футболан клуб Терек Соьлжа-ГӀала; Russian: А.А. Кадыров Республиканский футбольный клуб Терек Грозный, tr. A.A.Kadyrov Republican Football Club Terek Grozny) is a Russian football club from Grozny in Chechnya, that plays in the Russian Premier League.

It was founded in 1946, as Dynamo; it changed its name in 1948 to Neftyanik and in 1958 to Terek. In the 1990s the club was disbanded for some time due to the war in Chechnya. From the 1990s to 2007 the club played its home games in the neighbouring resort city of Pyatigorsk, Stavropol Krai. Before the start of the 2008 Premier League season, the Russian Football Union granted Terek the right to host Premier League matches in Grozny.

They won the Russian Cup by beating Krylya Sovetov Samara in the final and the Russian First Division in 2004. In 2004 they advanced through the UEFA Cup qualification by beating the Polish team Lech Poznań 1–0 in both legs but lost to Swiss outfit FC Basel in the first round. They played in the Russian Premier League in 2005 but were relegated after finishing last. Terek finished second in the First Division in 2007 and were promoted back into the Premier League.
