Kellogg's Grove is an area in western Stephenson County, Illinois, United States near the present-day unincorporated town of Kent.

The cemetery also holds the graves of those killed in other area battles. The Kellogg's Grove battle site was added to the U.S. National Register of Historic Places in 1978.
