Hollis Kimball "Bud" Sheely (November 26, 1920 — October 17, 1985) was an American Major League Baseball catcher.

Sheely attended Saint Mary's College of California. He was signed by the Boston Red Sox as an amateur free agent in 1941.

Before the 1946 season, he was released by the Red Sox and signed as a free agent with the Pittsburgh Pirates. Before the 1947 season, he was returned to the Hollywood Stars of the Pacific Coast League by the Pirates and obtained by the Chicago White Sox as a result of the expiration of Pittsburgh's minor league working agreement with the Stars and a new working agreement between the Stars and the White Sox. Sheely played for the White Sox from 1951 through 1953.

He is the son of Earl Sheely, a MLB first baseman.
