Grandstand (also known as Grandstand Leisure Products) was a video game console and electronic game manufacturer and distributor. It was based in the United Kingdom and New Zealand and was active in the 1970s and 1980s.

The company behind the Grandstand label was Adam Leisure Group PLC of Harrogate, UK. The company chiefly imported electronic products from other manufacturers such as Epoch, Tomy & Entex, selling them in the UK rebranded under the Grandstand name.

Some imported products' names were changed for the UK market. For example, the Tomy tabletop electronic game sold in the US as Pac Man (and in Japan as Puck Man) was released by Grandstand in the UK rebadged as Munchman.

Grandstand released numerous products over the years of which some are listed below. It should also be noted that there were large numbers of similar variations, alternative names and model numbers typcally referring to multiple evolutionary versions of the various game consoles and electronic games. Particularly, this is found with the Pong type game consoles as the semiconductor technology rapidly progressed during the period that the Grandstand brand was active.

It is known for Lode Runner
