FC Terek Grozny (Russian: АНО "Республиканский футбольный клуб "Терек" им. А.А.Кадырова") is a Russian football club, currently playing in Russian Premier League.

Originally founded in 1946, as Dynamo, it changed the 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.^[1]

They won the Russian Cup by beating Krylya Sovetov Samara at the final and the Russian First Division in 2004, but did not participate in the Russian championship on any level during First and Second Chechen Wars. In 2004 they advanced through the UEFA Cup qualification by beating 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.
On the 3rd of July 2008, Terek signed three Romanian players at once: Andrei Margaritescu (Dinamo Bucuresti), Florentin Petre (CSKA Sofia) and Daniel Pancu (Rapid Bucuresti).^[2] Terek finished 10th in Premier league and will be played in First Level in 2009 season.
