Wesley Earl Short, Jr. (born December 4, 1963) is an American professional golfer who has played on the PGA Tour and the Nationwide Tour.

Short was born, raised and has lived his entire life in Austin, Texas. He attended the University of Texas.

Short became a professional golfer in 1987. He worked as a club pro in the Austin area before becoming a touring pro in 1997. He started out on the mini-tours and eventually qualified for the Nationwide Tour for the 1998 season. He was a member of the Nationwide Tour again in 2002–2003. His best finish on the Nationwide Tour was a T-2 at The Reese's Cup Classic in 2003.
