Nagoya Grampus Eight (名古屋グランパスエイト Nagoya Guranpasu Eito?) is a Japanese football club which plays in the first division of the J. League. The team is based in Nagoya and was founded as the company team of Toyota Motor Corp. in the 1950s and played in the Japan Soccer League until the J. League's founding in 1993. The team had an excellent season in the mid 1990s when it was managed by current Arsenal manager Arsène Wenger, winning the prestigious Emperor's Cup and finishing runners up, and featured, among others, Dragan Stojković and Gary Lineker on the team. Dutchman Sef Vergoossen currently manages the club.

The team's name is derived from the two most prominent symbols of Nagoya: the two golden grampus dolphins on the top of Nagoya Castle, and the Maru-Hachi (Circle eight), the city's official symbol.
