Moreton-in-Marsh Cricket Club Ground is a cricket ground in Moreton-in-Marsh, Gloucestershire. The first recorded important match on the ground was in 1884, when Gloucestershire played their first first-class match there against Yorkshire. Gloucestershire played 5 first-class matches at the ground from 1884 to 1888. In 1914, Gloucestershire returned to the ground where they played their final first-class match there against Worcestershire.

Gloucestershire returned to the ground in 1972, when they played their first List-A match there against Hampshire in the 1972 Benson and Hedges Cup. From 1972 to 1996, the ground played host to 21 List-A matches, the last of which saw Gloucestershire play Kent in the 1992 AXA Equity and Law League.

In local domestic cricket, the ground is the home venue of Moreton-in-Marsh Cricket Club.
