Troy Hambrick (born November 6, 1976 in Lacoochee, Florida) is a former American football running back in the National Football League. He played for the Arizona Cardinals in 2004, and played for the Dallas Cowboys from 2000 to 2003. In his career so far, he has amassed 2,179 yards rushing and 276 yards receiving in 61 games played. He has rushed for nine touchdowns and caught for one in his career. He began his collegiate career at the University of South Carolina in 1996 and was the Gamecocks' leading rusher in 1997 and 1998. However, off the field issues led to his dismissal by then newly-hired Lou Holtz before the start of the 1999 season. He transferred to Savannah State University in Savannah, Georgia for his senior season.

His brother Darren Hambrick was also a player in the NFL; he played inside linebacker for the Dallas Cowboys, the Cleveland Browns, and the Carolina Panthers.

In September 2005, Hambrick, whose legal name is Troy Grant, was arrested on domestic abuse charges, which were dropped after prosecutors declined to file formal charges.

Hambrick was indicted Dec. 7 in U.S. District Court in Tampa. The indictment states that Hambrick, 31, sold 5 grams or more of crack cocaine on Sept. 7, distributed 50 grams or more of crack on Sept. 14 and distributed 50 grams or more of crack on Sept. 27.
