Shannon Grove (born March 18, 1965) is an American politician who served in the California State Assembly. A Republican, Grove represented the 34th district, which encompass most of Kern County. She is serving her third term in office. She is the chief executive officer of an employment agency she started in 1993 with her sister-in-law.

Upon returning to her native Kern County, California, Grove worked for two temporary staffing agencies: TempServ for one year and then Workforce Staffing for another year. In 1993, Grove established her own temporary staffing company, Continental Labor & Staffing Resources, with her sister-in-law; the company subsequently expanded to Bakersfield, Ridgecrest, Paso Robles and Visalia; the latter two of which are now closed. Grove is the CEO.
