John Barden Shadegg (/ˈʃædɡ/; born October 22, 1949) is the former U.S. Representative for Arizona's 3rd congressional district, serving from 1995 until 2011. He is a member of the Republican Party.

The district, numbered as the 4th District before the 2000 Census, includes much of northern Phoenix.

Shadegg is the son of the former Eugenia Kerr and Stephen Shadegg, both deceased. The senior Shadegg supported Barry Goldwater's 1952, 1958, 1968, 1974, and 1980 U.S. Senate campaigns and worked with F. Clifton White and Peter O'Donnell to organize the Draft Goldwater Committee in the 1963–64 presidential campaign. Stephen Shadegg also served not as the national campaign manager for Goldwater in 1964—that post went to Denison Kitchel, also of Phoenix—but as the western regional director of the Goldwater forces. A prolific author, Stephen Shadegg was considered the person closest to Goldwater in their shared conservative philosophy.

The Shadeggs are of partial Swiss descent.

John Shadegg was born in Phoenix and received a Bachelor of Arts from the University of Arizona at Tucson in 1972 and a Juris Doctor from the University of Arizona Law School, also in Tucson, in 1975. He served in the Arizona Air National Guard from 1969 to 1975.
