Haymakers' Grounds was a baseball grounds in Troy, New York. It was home to the Troy Haymakers of the National Association from 1871 to 1872 and home to the Troy Trojans of the National League from 1880 to 1881.

Most sources give the location of the ballpark as 104th Street (north); 2nd Avenue (west); 103rd Street (south); and 5th Avenue (east). Those streets were numbered 4th and 3rd at the time. This is in the vicinity of the public park called Knickerbacker Park, which contains a monument outlining the history of Troy's brief major league experience.

The NL club played home games at Putnam Grounds, Troy, in 1879, and at Troy Ball Club Grounds, Watervliet, in 1882.
