A ground connection bracket for securing coaxial cables to a grounding surface of, for example, a motor vehicle, includes first and second clamping members connected along a common edge by an integral hinge. Each of the clamping members is composed of a generally flat, rectangular panel and has two parallel side walls extending therefrom along edges perpendicular to the hinge edge. At least one contact projects from the panel of each clamping member, and generally semi-circular notches are formed in the side walls of the clamp members adjacent the contacts. A hole passes through the panel of one of the clamp members to receive a bolt for fastening the bracket to a grounding surface. One or more coaxial cables to be grounded are inserted between the clamping members so as to extend through the notches. A short length of insulation on each cable is stripped to expose the shield where the cables pass through the bracket.
