In this paper, a two-grid finite element scheme for semilinear parabolic integro-differential equations is proposed. In the two-grid scheme, continuous linear element is used for spatial discretization, while Crank-Nicolson scheme and Leap-Frog scheme are ultilized for temporal discretization. Based on the combination of the interpolation and Ritz projection technique, some superclose estimates between the interpolation and the numerical solution in the $ H^1 $-norm are derived. Notice that we only need to solve nonlinear problem once in the two-grid scheme, namely, the first time step on the coarse-grid space. A numerical example is presented to verify the effectiveness of the proposed two-grid scheme.
