"Greyhawk Ruins" is an adventure module for the "Dungeons & Dragons" (D&D) fantasy role-playing game. It was published in 1990 by TSR, Inc. for the first edition "Advanced Dungeons & Dragons" rules.

The adventure is set in the "World of Greyhawk" campaign setting and describes the ruins of and dungeons beneath Castle Greyhawk. The module was written by Blake Mobley and Timothy B. Brown, and is a more serious take on the dungeons of Castle Greyhawk than the 1988 module WG7 - "Castle Greyhawk". The 128-page book features cover art by Fred Fields and interior art by Thomas Baxa, Mark Nelson and David Simons. The adventure is designed for five to seven characters of levels 2 to 15.

In 2007, Wizards of the Coast released "Expedition to the Ruins of Greyhawk", an adventure book for 3.5 edition D&D that updates the material in "Greyhawk Ruins".
