Worcester Old Elizabethans' Association or Old Elizabethans' Association is the Old Boys club for past pupils of the Royal Grammar School Worcester.

The Association was founded in 1889 as a dining society for past pupils of the school. An annual dinner has been held in Worcester ever since except during the War periods. 2002 was the 100th dinner. The association was reorganized in 1926 with the aims of increasing connections with the School and the Old Boys. The association was named because of the school's connection with Queen Elizabeth I in the granting of a Royal Charter in 1561. Today there are branches of the association in London and Oxford University. The association tie is navy blue with diagonal dark green and silver stripes and dates from 1926.
