The Racecourse Ground is a cricket ground in Hereford, England. The two ends are known as the Pavilion End and the Racecourse End.

Worcestershire County Cricket Club played five first-class matches here between 1919 and 1983, and one other first-class game (between HK Foster's XI and the Australian Imperial Forces cricket team) was also staged in 1919. Worcestershire also played three List A games at the ground between 1983 and 1987. (A further List A match in 1988 was abandoned without a ball being bowled.)

One game of the 1986 ICC Trophy was played here: Bangladesh beat Argentina by seven wickets.
