Loop Group is a 2005 American novel by Larry McMurtry. It is one of his favorite novels.

It was his second Hollywood novel following Somebody's Darling. McMutry wrote that Loop Group "though wholly ignored, contains a far better picture of what one might call working-girl Hollywood, about which, by gosh and by golly, I finally began to learn a few things."

Reception

Kirkus wrote "there’s something here for everyone: An affectionate peek at the workers clinging to Hollywood’s lowest rung; campy sex; drama on the highway; and canny insights into the dynamics of family and friendship."
