Grindlay family
The Grindlay family (Old English: compound] "Grēne"/"Grynde" + "Leāh"/"Leā") is an ancient knightly family of England, whose ancestry can be traced back to the 9th century.

Originating in Northumberland, the family now has two primary branches, one in the English Midlands and the other in the Scottish Lowlands, with a small presence in Ireland, America, New Zealand and South Africa. The family established themselves as landed lords, knights, and gentry, but more recently were prominent British bankers (see Grindlays Bank), officials, industrialists, soldiers, and freemasons during the 18th, 19th and 20th centuries.

As an armigerous family whose position arose from feudal manorial lordships and knightly service, the Grindlay family rank among the English minor nobility or "noblesse d'épée".
