Shane Peter George (born 20 October 1970) is a former cricketer who played first-class and List A cricket for South Australia from 1987-88 to 1997-98.

Shane George was an opening bowler. In his best season, 1994-95, he was one of the leading bowlers in Australia, taking 43 wickets at an average of 33.55, helping South Australia to second position in the Sheffield Shield.[1][2] His best figures came in his first season, 1987-88, when he took 6 for 51 and 3 for 71 in South Australia’s innings victory over Tasmania.[3] In the 1995-96 Sheffield Shield final, he and Peter McIntyre, South Australia's last two batsmen, held out the Western Australian bowlers for 40 minutes to ensure a draw and, as a result, victory for South Australia in the season's Shield competition.[4]

In 1988 he was one of the 15 inaugural inductees at the Australian Institute of Sport's Cricket Academy.[5]
