For me the above answer given by @Daniel does not work. I have Ubuntu 14.04 LTS (this also works with Ubuntu 17.10) and to check the version of Grub (Grub2) I need to type:
grub-install --version

On clean ubuntu installs the grub package itself doesn't seem to be installed. Thus typing 'grub -anyoption' results in an error that says grub is not installed.
However you can type for example
grub-install -v
And it will give you the correct version of grub currently installed
The version of the Grub is 1.99-21ubuntu3
EDIT: As others have pointed out the commandline flags have been changed in newer versions. So now instead of typing grub-install -v you'd have to use a capital 'V' or the explicit --version

I find it more friendly this way. Also grub-probe -V works.

This will roughly do the job:
dpkg -l | grep grub | grep ii
You should note that just to confuse things that the version 1.9x is known as Grub2. I think they number it in a similar way that people would call the 1600-1699, the 17th century.

I think that v1.9 is supposed to be "pre-Grub2" - i.e., an almost ready version. Yet, you'd think that 2.0.x RC# would have been better naming for them...

The thing is--the grub you may be using to boot may not be installed from the Ubuntu system you are currently running. Therefore I prefer the other answer.

The package name is grub-pc, so you can do this:
dpkg -l grub-pc
which will show you something like this:

I'll throw my hat into the ring as well. You can also do it with apt-cache policy grub-pc

This will roughly do the job:

You should note that just to confuse things that the version 1.9x is known as Grub2. I think they number it in a similar way that people would call the 1600-1699, the 17th century.

The package name is grub-pc, so you can do this:
dpkg -l grub-pc
which will show you something like this:
Desired=Unknown/Install/Remove/Purge/Hold
| Status=Not/Inst/Conf-files/Unpacked/halF-conf/Half-inst/trig-aWait/Trig-pend
|/ Err?=(none)/Reinst-required (Status,Err: uppercase=bad)
||/ Name Version Architecture Description
