Merefield Ground was a cricket ground in Rochdale, Lancashire, England.

The ground was alongside Merefield Road. The first recorded match played at the ground came in 1855, when the Heally Club played a United All-England Eleven.[1] A single first-class match was held there when the North played the South in the North v South match of 1866,[2] The match ended in a draw, despite the South's Edgar Willsher taking 6 for 71 in the North's first-innings.[3] By 1867, cricket had ceased to be played at the ground, with an advertisement appearing in the Rochdale Observer encouraging people to buy shares in a proposed bowling green that was to replace the ground.[4] This proposal eventually come to fruition, with the Castleton Bowling Club still in existence on the site to this day.
