Benjamin P. Grogan was a 53-year-old FBI Special Agent killed on April 11, 1986, in Pinecrest, Florida, during the shootout now known as the 1986 FBI Miami shootout. Grogan and his partner Jerry L. Dove, along with several other agents, encountered two suspects linked to violent bank robberies and murders, Michael Lee Platt and William Russell Matix. The confrontation escalated into a roughly five-minute exchange in which more than 130 rounds were fired; Grogan and Dove were fatally wounded and five other agents were injured.

The two suspects were armed with a Ruger Mini-14 rifle and other high-powered weapons; both suspects were killed when Agent Edmundo Mireles, despite being wounded, stopped them as they tried to flee. The deaths of Grogan and Dove prompted changes in FBI equipment, firearms, body armor, and tactical training. A portion of Southwest 82nd Avenue in Pinecrest was co-designated Agent Benjamin Grogan Avenue and Agent Jerry Dove Avenue in 2001.
