Roger Robert Grove (June 19, 1908 – December 19, 1986) was a professional American football running back in the National Football League (NFL).[1] He played five seasons for the Green Bay Packers including the 1931 team that won the NFL Championship. He lettered at Michigan State in 1928, 1929, and 1930.

Grove was regarded as one of the fastest players on the Packers team during the first half of the 1930s, along with Bob Monnett, and distinguished himself as a punt returner for head coach Curly Lambeau's squad.[2]
