Shane Powers (born November 28, 1970 in Omaha, Nebraska) is an American actor and reality television participant. He was a contestant on Survivor: Panama, the twelfth season of the CBS series Survivor.

As an actor he appeared in the Roger Corman film and television series Black Scorpion, having appeared in several of the films and the series itself in the role of Specs. He played Sam in the 2002 film Luster.

In 1999, Powers and two business partners established a boutique specialty marketing company with the goal of effectively branding products. On the side, Powers makes time to coach his son's football team. Previous employment included work as a club promoter and restaurant manager.

Powers describes himself as witty, outgoing and funny. His most important accomplishment, still in progress, is raising his son. His hobbies include basketball, softball, writing and frequenting bookstores.

Powers currently resides in Los Angeles under the watchful eye of his son, Boston. Boston appeared in the "family visit" episode of Survivor: Panama with his dad, making him the youngest (then age 14) person to appear on Survivor during actual game play, and not just on videotape or film footage or on a reunion show.
