Pleasant Grove is an unincorporated community in Douglas County, Kansas, United States.

According to the Lawrence Journal-World, it is believed that the first organized Douglas County German Baptist group met in Pleasant Grove in 1858, in the house of Stephen Studebaker.

Nevertheless, Quantrill and his men razed a number of houses and barns in the area, looking for any anti-slavery settlers.
