The following is a list of Grand Marshals of the Rose Parade.

Ken Burns is the 2016 Grand Marshal

The Disney family is the only family to have more than one member serve as Grand Marshal: Walt Disney was the 1966 Grand Marshal, then his nephew Roy E. Disney held the post in 2000. Additionally, Mickey Mouse was the grand marshal for the 2005 parade. A number of years have featured multiple grand marshals, including 1999 when former astronaut Buzz Aldrin, former actress Shirley Temple Black, former MLB baseball player Jackie Robinson (posthumously) and film producer David L. Wolper were grand marshals. The Grand Marshal for the 2015 Rose Parade was announced on May 9, 2014. Louis Zamperini was selected by the President of the Pasadena Tournament of Roses Association, Richard Chinen, to serve as the Grand Marshal for the 126th Pasadena Tournament of Roses Parade.[1] However, Zamperini died of pneumonia in July, just six months short of the date of the parade.[2] The Tournament announced that it is "committed to honoring him as the Grand Marshal of the 2015 Rose Parade," the first posthumous grand marshal since Jackie Robinson in 1999.[3]
