Egypt Grove is an unincorporated community in southwest Howell County, in the U.S. state of Missouri.[1] The community is located along US Route 160, east of Caulfield.[2]

The community was named for the fact that early settlers likened traveling to and from the community to the exodus from Egypt.[3]
