We report a chemical substitution-induced ferromagnetic quantum critical point in polycrystalline Ni_{1-x}Rh_{x} alloys. Through magnetization and muon spin relaxation measurements, we show that the ferromagnetic ordering temperature is suppressed continuously to zero at x_{crit}=0.375 while the magnetic volume fraction remains 100% up to x_{crit}, pointing to a second order transition. Non-Fermi liquid behavior is observed close to x_{crit}, where the electronic specific heat C_{el}/T diverges logarithmically, while immediately above x_{crit} the volume thermal expansion coefficient α_{V}/T and the Grüneisen ratio Γ=α_{V}/C_{el} both diverge logarithmically in the low temperature limit, further indication of a ferromagnetic quantum critical point in Ni_{1-x}Rh_{x}.
