Knowles Shaw (October 31, 1834 – June 7, 1878) was an American author and composer noted for his gospel hymns.

Shaw was born in Butler County in southwestern Ohio. He was a member of the non-instrumental churches of Christ, also known as the Christian Church at this time. Perhaps his best known work was the popular Christian hymn, Bringing in the Sheaves.

He died in a train wreck in McKinney, Texas (just out­side Dal­las). He was buried in East Hill Cem­e­te­ry in Rushville, Indiana.
