Shaun Grigg (born 19 April 1988) is an Australian rules footballer for the AFL's Carlton. He is the son of Peter Grigg, who was a champion player for the Western Plains Football League team Carngham-Linton, and represented Australia in Rugby Union, playing 25 tests for the Wallabies during the 80's.

Prior to AFL selection, Grigg, a medium-sized midfielder, played with North Ballarat Rebels in the TAC Cup. After being passed over in the 2005 AFL Draft, he was selected in the 2006 AFL National Draft in the second round by Carlton (19th pick overall).

Grigg's development in the VFL with the Northern Bullants was delayed significantly by a shoulder injury sustained early in the 2007 season. He made his AFL debut against Melbourne in Round 14. Grigg earned a regular position in the Carlton team throughout 2008, and was nominated for the NAB Rising Star award in Round 19[1].
