"Top Club" was a Scottish regional television game show produced and broadcast by Grampian Television (now "STV North") between 1971 and 1998.

Running for over 25 years, "Top Club" was an annual tournament of general knowledge quiz games involving clubs and organisations from the Northern Scotland region. According to an interview with presenter Frank Gilfeather, the programme was the most watched regional light entertainment programme in the ITV network, winning audience shares of up to 46%.
