was an English association football club from the town of Grimsby in Lincolnshire.

[2] The newly merged club proved stronger with the addition of the leading White Star players, including J. Ellis and R. Fanthorpe, both of whom would be captains of the side, and the first match was against Hull side Blue Star in October 1883.

[3] Soon afterwards, the club obtained its biggest win with a 13–0 victory over Louth Trinity Recreation in November 1883, with Raynes scoring 8.

In 1884-85 the club withdrew rather than having to travel to face Middlesbrough F.C.,[9] with Grimsby & District "being satisfied that they had no chance with the Tees-siders".
