Mervyn George Grell (born December 18, 1899, Trinidad, died January 11, 1976, Cocorite, Trinidad) was a West Indian cricketer who played in one Test in 1930.
Grell was a hard-hitting right-handed lower-order batsman and a medium pace bowler whose first three first-class matches were all against the MCC side that played the first Test matches in the West Indies. In his first game, for Trinidad, he batted at No 9 and top-scored in the first innings, with 40 and then scored 54 batting at No 8 in the second innings. In the second, he was Trinidad captain and led a rearguard action that almost brought victory. His selection for the Trinidad Test saw him batting at No 6, and though he scored 21 and 13, he did not play Test cricket again.
In fact, Grell played only a handful of other first-class matches over the next eight years, and made his highest score, an undefeated 74, in his last match for Trinidad against British Guiana in 1937.
