The Granite Curling Club is a curling facility in Winnipeg featuring nine ice sheets housed in a Tudor-style clubhouse overlooking the Assiniboine River in downtown.

The club was founded in 1880 as the first curling establishment in Western Canada and relocated to its current riverside location in 1913. This move allowed the facility to expand and strengthen its role in the region's growing sport community.
The club earned recognition as the birthplace of Manitoba curling and has produced numerous national champions while hosting international competitions. Visitors can observe its role in local sport culture as players of all skill levels share the ice sheets.
The club welcomes members and players of all skill levels with regular playing opportunities during the winter season, offering flexibility for visits. The riverside location with good access to downtown makes reaching the venue straightforward.
The building was designed by architect Herbert Edward Matthews and designated as a Winnipeg Heritage Building for its architectural and historical merit. The Tudor architecture of the structure stands out distinctly from modern sports facilities and contributes to the place's character.
