Sally Angela Shelton-Colby (born August 29, 1944) is an American diplomat. She was Ambassador of the United States to Barbados, Grenada and Dominica as well as Minister to St Lucia, and Special Representative to Antigua, St. Christopher-Nevis-Anguilla, and St. Vincent from 1979 to 1981, under Jimmy Carter.
Sally Shelton-Colby was born on 29 August 1944 in San Antonio, Texas. She grew up in Monett, Missouri, where she was a cheerleader. One of her grandfathers was a personal friend of Texas Congressman Clark W. Thompson.
Shelton initially attended Southern Methodist University and tried to transfer to Princeton University, but she was rejected because they did not accept women. Instead, she transferred to the University of Missouri, where she received a B.A. in French. She received an MA in International relations from Johns Hopkins University's Paul H. Nitze School of Advanced International Studies (SAIS). She was also a Fulbright scholar at the Institut d'Études Politiques de Paris.
