Crenshaw, or Crenshaw Crossing, is an unincorporated community in Williamson County, Illinois located between Marion and Energy in West Marion Precinct.

[2] Parts of the Herrin Massacre took place in and near the rural settlement on 21 June 1922.

Replacement workers and mine guards were marched north from the mine to the community and then west to Moake Crossing and finally the Power Plant woods, where the initial massacre took place.

The "crossing" part of the name came from the Coal Belt Electric Line interurban railroad and ran along what is now Crenshaw Road.
