Grosvenor is a locality in the North Burnett Region, Queensland, Australia.[2] In the 2021 census, Grosvenor had a population of 29 people.[3]

## Geography[edit]

The locality is bounded to the north-west by Harkness Boundary Creek.[4]

The Burnett River enters the locality from the west (Eidsvold) and exits to the south (Malmoe).[4]

To the east of the river, the Burnett Highway enters the locality from the north (Eidsvold / Eidsvold East) and exits to the south-east (Malmoe).[4]

The land is flatter around the river but undulating to the north and east. The land near the river is mostly used for crop growing, but the predominant land use is grazing on native vegetation.[4]
