Modified dispersion relations(MDRs) as a manifestation of Lorentz invariance violation, have been appeared in alternative approaches to quantum gravity problem. Loop quantum gravity is one of these approaches which evidently requires modification of dispersion relations. These MDRs will affect the usual formulation of the Compton effect. The purpose of this paper is to incorporate the effects of loop quantum gravity MDRs on the formulation of Compton scattering. Using limitations imposed on MDRs parameters from Ultra High Energy Cosmic Rays(UHECR), we estimate the quantum gravity-induced wavelength shift of scattered photons in a typical Compton process. Possible experimental detection of this wavelength shift will provide strong support for underlying quantum gravity proposal.
