No, only actual people can be shareholders of an S corp.

Actually, I had this same question and called the IRS because I noticed there may be a loop hole. My question to the IRS is can an LLC that opts to be taxed as a Sole Proprietor own stock in an S Corp. They affirmed that in fact an LLC taxed at the sole proprietor level can own stock in an S Corp. However, if the LLC files form 2553 can't own stock in an S Corp.
