Tony Shaw (born July 23, 1960) is a former Australian rules footballer and media personality.

Beginning his career in 1977 with the Collingwood Football Club, he was known as one of the club's greatest ever midfielders. He went on the play 313 games and kick 153 goals, and captained the side from 1987-1993, including Collingwood's drought-breaking premiership win in 1990.

After retiring in 1994, Shaw moved to an assistant coach role at Collingwood, before taking the senior reigns in 1996. He was forced to step down at the end of the 1999 season after leading Collingwood to last place, making way for Mick Malthouse.

He now works in the media, and has done so since 2000, appearing on 3AW's match coverage, as well as the Fox Footy Channel.
