Franz Gróver Choque Ulloa (born 26 August 1969) is a Bolivian industrial engineer, lawyer, and politician who served as vice minister of employment, civil service, and cooperatives from 2019 to 2020. A member of the Social Democratic Movement, he previously served as a party-list member of the Chamber of Deputies from Oruro from 2010 to 2014 on behalf of the National Convergence alliance and as a member of the Constituent Assembly from Oruro, representing circumscription 32 from 2006 to 2007 on behalf of the Social Democratic Power alliance.

An activist forged in the student movement, Choque entered political life as a public official in the Oruro Prefecture. He made his electoral debut in the Constituent Assembly before moving on to serve in the Chamber of Deputies. In 2013, he joined the Social Democratic Movement, with whom he unsuccessfully sought reelection. Though Choque's ensuing bid for a seat in the Oruro Departmental Assembly also ended in failure, he continued as the party's departmental leader and was appointed to serve in the Áñez administration following her rise to the presidency. His tenure was cut short in 2020 after he was removed for breaking the taboo of electoralizing the interim government's public works projects.
