Thomas Grove (c. 1609-27 January 1692), of Ferne House in Wiltshire, was a 17th century English Member of Parliament.
He was elected a member of the Long Parliament in 1645 to fill a vacancy at Milborne Port, but in December 1648 he was one of the MPs excluded in Pride's Purge. In the First and Second Parliaments of Oliver Cromwell's protectorate he was MP for Wiltshire, and in the Parliament called by Richard Cromwell he represented Marlborough. After the Restoration, he was elected for Shaftesbury in the parliament of 1660-1661, his last.
