FK Jerv is a Norwegian football club from Grimstad. "Jerv" is the Norwegian name for wolverine.

It was founded in 1921, as Vestergatens FK, named after the street in which the foundation took place, but later changed name to Djerv and then Jerv. In the 1970s and 1980s the team had a number of foreign coaches, including Bo Johansson who managed the team in 1984 and 1985 and went on to coach several clubs and national teams. In November 2007 Jerv signed another well-known ex-footballer Tore André Dahlum as coach.

The team currently resides in the Third Division, the fourth tier of Norwegian football, having last played in the Second Division in 2003.

FK Jerv has no women's section, as this split away in 1999 to from a new club Amazon Grimstad FK.
