The Glebe Dirty Reds are an Australian rugby league foundation club formed on 9 January 1908 in the Sydney suburb of Glebe and nicknamed for the maroon of their playing jerseys. They played in the New South Wales Rugby Football League's Sydney premiership from 1908 until they were voted out at the end of 1929, and although they came close at times they never won a premiership title. Most home matches were played at Wentworth Oval. The club was revived in late 2015, fielded teams again from 2017 and returned to Wentworth Oval permanently in 2023.
