Shane Parker (born March 18, 1973) is a former Australian rules footballer who played for the Fremantle Football Club. He made his debut in 1995, Fremantle's inaugural year in the Australian Football League.

In 2005, Parker became the first person to play 200 games for the club and celebrated the match by kicking the 10th goal in his career, his first goal in almost 4 seasons. He is a practising Christian, and is known for his reliability in defence and his reclusive nature.[1]

On the 24th of August 2007 after 238 games, Parker announced his retirement from AFL football (along with fellow player Troy Cook). Parker had been the Dockers longest serving player and had played more games than any other player for Fremantle.[2]
