The Terrier Group is a designation used by most all-breed dog registries (or Kennel clubs) for a group of dog breeds consisting almost entirely of terriers. The list of dogs in this group is largely the same across the major English-speaking Kennel clubs--AKC, ANKC, CKC , KC(UK), NKC, UKC and NZKC. The group consists of most, but not all, terrier breeds. In the case of the North American clubs, it even contains a non-terrier.

The ANKC designates the Terrier Group as group 2, and the CKC as group 4.

The group is made up of the following breeds, (differences among clubs are noted in parentheses).
