Listeria grandensis is a species of bacteria. It is a Gram-positive, facultatively anaerobic, non-motile, non-spore-forming bacillus. It is non-pathongenic and non-hemolytic. The species was discovered in and named after Grand County, Colorado, and its discovery was first published in 2014.[1]

L. grandensis is phenotypically similar to L. cornellensis, but L. grandensis shows temperature-dependent acidification of L-rhamnose.
